SlugifyUniquely
v1 v2 1 It's common for me to want a unique slug based on a user supplied name of an object. Following the pattern outlined at [http://www.b-list.org/weblog/2006/11/02/django-tips-auto-populated-fields djang-tips-auto-populated-fields], it's easy to get the field populated without user intervention. However, by setting the slug field in the save() method the field isn't validated and thus unique=True restrictions aren't checked. I wrote the following code to attempt to pick slugs which are unique within a particular model . It's certainly not ideal (it suffers from race condition as well as potential for pounding a database with lots of small queries until it finds a good slug field), but it works for my small/mid-sized apps.1 It's common for me to want a unique slug based on a user supplied name of an object.
