#18399 closed New feature (fixed)

Add a `for_concrete_model` kwarg to `ContentTypeManager.get_for_models?`

Description

ContentTypeManager.get_for_models? always return the ContentType of the concrete model.

As highlighted in #17648 and #11154 there is cases that would benefit from the option of retrieving the ContentType of proxy models.

However changing ContentTypeManager.get_for_model? to return the ContentType of proxy models would be backward incompatible.

I suggest adding a for_concrete_model=True kwarg to ContentTypeManager.get_for_models? which defaults to <=1.4 behaviour.

Pull request to come.

Looking at get_for_models implementation there doesn't seems to be way to add this flag while maintaining backward compatiblity since models are passed as *args...

Fixed #18399 – Added a way to get ContentTypes for proxy models

Added kwargs for_concrete_model and for_concrete_models to ContentType
methods get_for_model() and get_for_models(). By setting the flag to
False, it is possible to get the contenttype for proxy models.
