Not working with django-simple-history anymore

[ArkNieckarz]

Get error: ValueError: table data is of type <class 'App.models.HistoricalContactActivity'> but <class 'App.models.ContactActivity'> is specified in Table.Meta.model

Basically set_table in TableQuerysetData (in data.py) checks for self.model != table._meta.model which brakes tables with historical "field" in it.
How to set the class meta model of the history model of a concrete model class?

I think this error is causing more Harm than good. Maybe we should consider using a warning instead?

[ArkNieckarz]

Well maybe gradually, in a defined future version, throw an error but for now a warning with some clear meaning would help.
I have it working now, by not defining a model at all - but then have to define all of my fields. This is then duplicating what the model itself has already defined (in most cases that's fine). So duplicating field definition is not desirable.
But would be nice to figure out a way to use the "base" model and to also look at other _meta(s) if there are present?
This project is great and want to see it grow!

@ArkNieckarz I was going to say you should try to put HistoricalContactActivity in the Meta.model attribute, but It's not importable. I still think making this error a warning is the way to go.

Hi @ArkNieckarz,
I have your same problem.
How can you render a Historical^ object using django-tables2?
