Customization

When you register an handler you can customize all the bookmark options, as seen in Using handlers.

But it is also possible to register an handler without overriding options or methods, and that handler will work using pre-defined global settings.

This section describes the settings used to globally customize bookmark handlers, together with their default values.

---

GENERIC_BOOKMARKS_BACKEND = None

default bookmark model (if None, bookmarks.backends.ModelBackend is used)

to use MongoDB backend you can just write:

GENERIC_BOOKMARKS_BACKEND = 'bookmarks.backends.MongoBackend'

---

GENERIC_BOOKMARKS_DEFAULT_KEY = 'main'

default key to use for bookmarks when there is only one bookmark-per-content

---

GENERIC_BOOKMARKS_NEXT_QUERYSTRING_KEY = 'next'

querystring key that can contain the url of the redirection performed after adding or removing bookmarks

---

GENERIC_BOOKMARKS_CAN_REMOVE_BOOKMARKS = True

set to False if you want to globally disable bookmarks deletion

---

GENERIC_BOOKMARKS_MONGODB = {'NAME': '', 'USERNAME': '', 'PASSWORD': '', 'PARAMETERS': {}}

mongodb backend connection parameters

if the instance of MongoDB is executed in localhost without authentication you can just write:

GENERIC_BOOKMARKS_MONGODB = {"NAME": "bookmarks"}
