Django prepopulated_fields removes stop words from slugs?

Question

I am trying to automatically generate slugs to use in URLs of a Django app.

So far I have achieved this using prepopulated_fields in admin.py.

However, slugs generated with prepopulated_fields do not include stop words (i.e., the string "I love to code" has slug "love-code").

Is there a way to automatically generate slugs that also include stop words?

Answer 1

Slug is generated on fronted using prepopulate.js function and does not have any configuration options, you could add your custom javascript instead

Or

forget about preopopulated_fields and instead override save method on Headword model and generate slug using slugify() something in a line of

from django.utils.text import slugify

class Headword(models.Model):
    ...

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):

        self.slug = slugify(self.headword, allow_unicode=True)
        super().save(*args, **kwargs)
