Menu:

plugin models

Since changeset:1612 plugin can have his own django ORM models (called 'plugin models')!

You can insert model classes directly into the plugin module or create a separated models.py and import the models.

The plugin models are normal django ORM models with all features. You can insert relationships to other existing django/PyLucid models!
