Improved version of django-constance - Live settings for Leonardo CMS - released under leonardo-constance

Constance - Dynamic Django settings

This is adopted version of standard library for Leonardo CMS.

Additionaly features:

• boolean, numbers, strings, dictionaries
• support for Django 1.8 +
• basic grouping via CONSTANCE_CONFIG_GROUPS which makes tabs for django admin
• access to config keys from standard django settings
• really live settings, set every value to django settings and respect the default value from them

CONSTANCE_CONFIG = {
    'MEDIA_ENABLED': (True, 'Help Text'),
    'MEDIA_THUMBNAILS': ({
            'SMALL': '64x64',
            'MEDIUM': '265x265',
        }, 'Help Text')
}

CONSTANCE_CONFIG_GROUPS = {'Group 1': {
                            MY_AWESOME_KEY: ('default', help text)
                            }
                        }

from django.conf import settings

settings.MY_AWESOME_KEY

settings.py

DEBUG = True

CONSTANCE_CONFIG_GROUPS = {'Group 1': {
                            DEBUG: (False, help text)
                            }
                        }

from django.conf import settings
settings.DEBUG
-> True

after setting up value in the admin to False:

from django.conf import settings
settings.DEBUG
-> False

If you can add your custom field types, you can use the CONSTANCE_ADDITIONAL_FIELDS variable. Note that you must use later evaluated strings instead of direct classes:

A Django app for storing dynamic settings in pluggable backends (Redis and Django model backend built in) with an integration with the Django admin app.
