Configuration

Luckily you don’t have to configure that much to use django-anylink.

ANYLINK_EXTENSIONS

To add a new link target, you have to update the ANYLINK_EXTENSIONS setting.

This directive is a list of linkable target (external urls, Django models with get_absolute_url methods and so on). Every entry can be a single class path or a tuple consisting of a class path and a configuration dictionary.

ExternalLink

This extension provides a external url field. No other configuration is needed.

# Example with external links
ANYLINK_EXTENSIONS = (
    'anylink.extensions.ExternalLink',
)

ModelLink

The ModelLink extension provides a foreign key the configured model. It is required that the model is registered in the Django admin interface. Also, the model needs to have a get_absolute_url method.

# Example with model links with MyModel
ANYLINK_EXTENSIONS = (
    ('anylink.extensions.ModelLink', {'model': 'myapp.MyModel'}),
)
