Django 1.2, ManyToMany relations and legacy database support

2010-03-01 Thread Xavier Ordoquy
Hi, I gave Django 1.2 a go but I had some issues with legacy database support. I have several ManyToMany relations with an intermediate model that doesn't have an id field (only 2 fields pointing on each table). With Django 1.1, I abused this snippet : http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/962

Given the title, I would feel bad for the sysadmin if there was hundreds of setting files with just the site id within ;) As for the urlconf, it's already possible. core/urlresolvers have a set/get urlconf that is set for the thread by the BaseHandler. Don't get me wrong, I started some work in
