# Management commands

## Database schema checker

`feincms.management.checker.``check_database_schema`(cls, module_name)

  Returns a function which inspects the database table of the passed class. It checks whether all fields in the model are available on the database too. This is especially helpful for models with an extension mechanism, where the extension might be activated after syncdb has been run for the first time.

  Please note that you have to connect the return value using strong references. Here’s an example how to do this:

      signals.post_syncdb.connect(check_database_schema(Page, __name__), weak=False)

  (Yes, this is a weak attempt at a substitute for South until we find a way to make South work with FeinCMS’ dynamic model creation.)

## Content-type specific management commands

### `update_rsscontent`

`update_rsscontent` should be run as a cronjob when the `RSSContent` content type is used – the content type itself does not update the feed by itself.

## Page tree rebuilders

Those should not normally be used. Older versions of MPTT sometimes got confused with repeated saves and tree-structure changes. These management commands helped cleaning up the mess.

### `rebuild_mptt`

`rebuild_mptt` rebuilds your mptt pointers. Only use in emergencies.

## Miscellaneous commands

### `feincms_validate`

`feincms_validate` checks your models for common pitfalls.
