djangoanyurlfield 2.7.post1

django-any-urlfield
The any_urlfield module provides an improved URL selector
that supports both URLs to internal models and external URLs.
This addresses is a common challenge in CMS interfaces;
where providing a URLField makes it hard to enter internal URLs,
while providing a ModelChoiceField makes it too inflexible.
This package provides the both of both worlds.
For more details, see the documentation at Read The Docs.

Installation
First install the module, preferably in a virtual environment:
pip install django-any-urlfield
Add the module to the installed apps:
INSTALLED_APPS += (
'any_urlfield',
)

Usage
Add the field to a Django model:
from django.db import models
from any_urlfield.models import AnyUrlField

class MyModel(models.Model):
title = models.CharField("Title", max_length=200)
url = AnyUrlField("URL")
By default, the AnyUrlField only supports linking to external pages.
Register any model that the AnyUrlField should support linking to:
from any_urlfield.models import AnyUrlField
AnyUrlField.register_model(Article)
Now, the AnyUrlField offers users a dropdown field to directly select an article.
The default field is a django.forms.models.ModelChoiceField field
with a django.forms.widgets.Select widget.
This can be customized using the form_field and widget parameters:
from any_urlfield.models import AnyUrlField
from any_urlfield.forms import SimpleRawIdWidget

AnyUrlField.register_model(Article, widget=SimpleRawIdWidget(Article))
That will display the Article model as raw input field with a browse button.
