Description
Playing a little with prepopulate_from I found some strange things.
First try typing "hotel b" then "hotel a". The first results in "hotel_b" the second in "hotel ". When continuing typing (hotel aa) the slugfield is filled correctly.
When adding a record, re-entering the "from field" and retyping it's value the slugfield isn't updated, even when you cleared it first.
When editing a record the slugfield isn't updated, even when you cleared it first.
I'm using Firefox on osx.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
The script which transforms the value into a slug also removes common "stop words" such as "the", "an", and -- important in your case -- "a". If you need to preserve the "a", simply enter it manually.
The slug will not be automatically changed when you later edit the object because it is assumed that the slug is used as part of a URL, and URLs are not meant to be automatically changed -- doing so would break any link back to the original URL.
