There’s now a generate_sphinx_config command (I think that’s what I called it, haha) which will generate sample configs for any model it can in [appname].

I’ve also added a generate_config_for_models (see the s) which will assist you in UNION generation for search groups.

Yes please!

Just add a postsyncdb signal at the top level management, and a settings module config file output option. Then whenever you do a syncdb the config file will be regenerated.

shouldn’t be too hard…

That’s a great idea. It could even generate configuration for any model with a SphinxSearch attached to it.

This is very useful! Why don’t you make a custom management command, it’d be easy? Something like this:

./manage.py sphinxconfmodel Modelname

And then we could have a full configuration generator, which would work on a list of models and make use Sphinx’s configuration source and index definition inheritance:

./manage.py sphinxfullconf Model1 Model2 Model3
