I'm using django-taggit and I have a problem that polish symbols like ś, ć, ę... appear in slugs of tags.
I want slugs to be ASCII only.
Using TAGGIT_STRIP_UNICODE_WHEN_SLUGIFYING = True solves the problem partially. When creating tags they actually change unwanted characters as this: ś -> s but when I create tag in admin, slug gets automatically prepopulated without striping/changing the characters. I would like it to do so.
As far only solution I found is modifying source of django-taggit as follows:
class TagBase(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(
verbose_name=pgettext_lazy("A tag name", "name"), unique=True, max_length=100
)
slug = models.SlugField(
verbose_name=pgettext_lazy("A tag slug", "slug"),
unique=True,
max_length=100,
allow_unicode=False,
)
Precisely allow_unicode=False
I was also considering unregistering TagAdmin and switching it to my own.
Is there any clean solution that doesn't require modifying django-taggit module?
