django-model-utils: does InheritanceManager work if the parent model/class is abstract?
django, django-models, django-queryset
Solution
following the link from the docs to Jeff Elmore's blog (aka the author of the InheritanceManager) he describes how InheritanceManager works.
It is quite clear that the parent model/class cannot be abstract.
.... actually i should have figured this out from the code the first time around.....
Problem
django-model-utils. I'm attempting the very basic use of InhertianceManager as described in the docs. ``` nearby_places = Place.objects.filter(location='here').select_subclasses() ``` The only difference is that my parent model/class is abstract. Is this still supposed to work? I am getting errors like Caught DatabaseError while rendering: (1146, "Table 'proj.ParentModel' doesn't exist") and 'Options' object has no attribute '_join_cache' both of which are errors one typically gets when you attempt to do a query on an abstract class. in my parent model i've defined the manager as follows: ``` class ParentModel(OrderedModel): objects = InheritanceManager() ```
