Settings
========
The ``CATEGORIES_SETTINGS`` dictionary is where you can override the default settings. You don't have to include all the settings; only the ones which you want to override.
The default settings are:
.. code-block:: python
CATEGORIES_SETTINGS = {
'ALLOW_SLUG_CHANGE': False,
'CACHE_VIEW_LENGTH': 0,
'RELATION_MODELS': [],
'M2M_REGISTRY': {},
'FK_REGISTRY': {},
'THUMBNAIL_UPLOAD_PATH': 'uploads/categories/thumbnails',
'THUMBNAIL_STORAGE': settings.DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE,
}
