How do I add a new model and generate the migrations with South 0.7.2? - django-models

Question

I created a new model:
class RssFeed(models.Model):
url = mdels.CharField(max_length=300)
$ python manage.py schemamigration forum --add-model RssFeed
Traceback (most recent call last):

Answer 1

My syntax was correct, the way I had created the model wasn't.
I had placed all my models into a directory /models
If you do this, you must add Meta to your model definition:
class Meta:
app_label = 'APP_NAME'
If you don't do this, Django can't discover the new models.
