Re: signal locations

That wouldn't resolve the problem any more than having everything in
the models.py.

i wish to externalize this signal from the gallery application so that
it is up to the website project whether or not a signal is being used.
i suppose i could add a toggle variable in the gallery settings file
so the project settings file can decide whether or not to utilize the
work being done within the method via a local variable...

seems kind of a messy way to do things... it'd be great to have a
single file for the website's signals... sort of like setting up
templatetags at the project level
