Adding a new top-level trove via the admin UI causes Project Admin->Categorization to break.

The current admin also doesn't allow identical names in another (unrelated) trove -- add a field to override the auto-generated shortname, and improve shortname generation to allow for more friendly URLs.

    • the slugify function allows periods, is that ok? It's different from what trove shortnames currently allow, but it probably is ok? A few test cases for it should be added, and its docstring should be updated.
    • AddTroveCategoryForm.display() has a few commented out lines
    • I'd probably put the Name column before Shortname column, in the listings table, but that's a small personal preference.
    • adding a category with unicode in the name gets an error on redirect('/categories/{}/?categoryname={}&shortname={}'.format(upper.trove_cat_id, name, shortname)) When using format strings u'...' is needed. It is unfortunately not magical like %s strings which upgrade to unicode automatically when the params are unicode.
    • new top-level troves no longer cause the project admin page to break immediately, but they do show up there and can't be saved. Might need a config option to control which categories are used there. Can go alongside trovecategories.admin.* ini settings.

    Good feedback, commit pushed:
    * Made period optional, along with general cleanup + tests
    * Fixed
    * Agred, changed
    * Fixed
    * Fixed by ensuring project model can accept those troves, rather than via config.
