Data models

The following are all of the relevant pretalx database models, including their interfaces. All non-documented methods and properties should be considered private and unstable. All methods and properties documented here may change between releases, but any change will be mentioned in the release notes starting with the 1.0 release.

All event related objects have an event property. It always returns the event this object belongs to, to ease permission checks and reduce the need for duplicate lookups.

Events and organisers

class pretalx.event.models.event.Event(*args, **kwargs)[source]

The Event class has direct or indirect relations to all other models.

Since most models depend on the Event model in some way, they should preferably be accessed via the reverse relation on the event model to prevent data leaks.

Parameters:

  • is_public – Is this event public yet? Should only be set via the pretalx.orga.views.EventLive view or in another way that processes the pretalx.orga.signals.activate_event signal.

  • locale_array – Contains the event’s active locales as a comma separated string. Please use the locales property to interact with this information.

  • content_locale_array – Contains the event’s active locales available for proposals as a comma separated string. Please use the content_locales property to interact with this information.

  • primary_color – Main event colour. Accepts hex values like #00ff00.

  • custom_css – Custom event CSS. Has to pass fairly restrictive validation for security considerations.

  • custom_domain – Custom event domain, starting with https://.

  • plugins – A list of active plugins as a comma-separated string. Please use the plugin_list property for interaction.

  • feature_flags – A JSON field containing feature flags for this event. Please use the get_feature_flag method to check for features, so that new feature flags can be added without breaking existing events.

  • id (AutoField) – Primary key: ID

  • created (DateTimeField) – Created

  • updated (DateTimeField) – Updated

  • name (I18nCharField) – Name

  • slug (SlugField) – Short form. The slug may only contain letters, numbers, dots and dashes.

  • date_from (DateField) – Event start date

  • date_to (DateField) – Event end date

  • timezone (CharField) – Timezone. All event dates will be localised and interpreted to be in this timezone.

  • email (EmailField) – Organiser email address. Will be used as Reply-To in emails.

  • display_settings (JSONField) – Display settings

  • review_settings (JSONField) – Review settings

  • mail_settings (JSONField) – Mail settings

  • logo (ImageField) – Logo. If you provide a logo image, your event’s name will not be shown in the event header. The logo will be scaled down to a height of 150px.

  • header_image (ImageField) – Header image. If you provide a header image, it will be displayed instead of your event’s color and/or header pattern at the top of all event pages. It will be center-aligned, so when the window shrinks, the center parts will continue to be displayed, and not stretched.

  • locale (CharField) – Default language

  • landing_page_text (I18nTextField) – Landing page text. This text will be shown on the landing page, alongside with links to the CfP and schedule, if appropriate. You can use <a href=”https://docs.pretalx.org/user/markdown/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Markdown</a> here.

  • featured_sessions_text (I18nTextField) – Featured sessions text. This text will be shown at the top of the featured sessions page instead of the default text. You can use <a href=”https://docs.pretalx.org/user/markdown/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Markdown</a> here.
