This tiny project adds new Django field type CentralniakSlugField that automatically creates and/or updates slug on save. The slug method supports far more regional characters then the core Django one (yes, cyrillic alphabet is supported).

Project was somewhat inspired by Doctrine ORM's approach to slugs.

1. You can choose which fields to populate a slug form (single or multifield slug)
2. You can choose if slug should be updated on record update or only on creation
3. Possibility to make slugs unique per given expression only (for example given date)

from django_centralniak_slugfield import CentralniakSlugField 

class MyModel(models.model):
    fieldname1 = models.CharField(max_length=12)
    fieldname2 = models.CharField(max_length=34)
    other_model = models.ForeignKey(OtherModel)
    slug = CentralniakSlugField(populate_from=['fieldname1', 'fieldname2'], update_on_edit=False, unique_for=['other_model'])
