ModelNotActionable: Model Item not recognized about django-activity-stream HOT 4 CLOSED

Just to add my two cents; I only get this error when calling an actstream event from within a management command. For some reason, in this case, when actstream gets initialized, the models in the appcache are not yet properly loaded, and all references are just None.

I could find a way to fix this from within the actstream package, but my current workaround involves reloading the MODELS setting from within my management command:

class Command(NoArgsCommand):
    ...
    def command(self, **kwargs):
        import actstream.settings
        actstream.settings.MODELS = {}
        for model in getattr(settings, 'ACTSTREAM_ACTION_MODELS', ('auth.User',)):
             actstream.settings.MODELS[model.lower()] = model = get_model(*model.split('.'))
        ...

This solves the problem completely. Adding a function to the actstream code that does exactly the same thing, and calling the function, however, did not work. Strange behavior, if you ask me. Any thoughts on how we can fix this in the actstream code?

I use v0.4.5beta1 and have the same problem..

model not recognized when run from management command.

Actually out of my 4 models, 2 models are recognized and the other two are not.
And it works fine if run normally (not by management command)
