Dynamic sitetree and Django 1.7+

[wengole]

I might be missing something, but I am unable to make a dynamic sitetree.

I have a custom SitetreeItem model, and this seems to prevent calling item() at Django load time as it throws django.core.exceptions.AppRegistryNotReady: Models aren't loaded yet.

Full traceback:

django.core.exceptions.AppRegistryNotReady: Models aren't loaded yet.

I tried adding an apps.py inside my app and making use of the ready() method to create the sitetrees. This seemed sensible given the new app loading framework established in Django 1.7

Let me know if you need anything further on this.

I believe you could possibly make use of this in utils.py
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/applications/#django.apps.apps.get_model

EDIT: Nevermind I see that is what you're using.

I had the same issue: when trying to override sitetree models (Django 1.7 and Django 1.8)

Sorry, I've missed this issue.
I'll try to solve that out this week.

Probably the best way is to define dynamic trees in urls.py (or even better in a separate module imported by urls.py). I've updated docs accordingly, give it a try.

Closing this. Feel free to reopen if needed.
