+Templates can define their own custom nodels without needing to touch the core code. tablename should be "custom_%s" % resourcename
+
+Add a dict (or !OrderedDict if want to manage dependency order), like:
+{{{
+settings.models = {tablename: function}
+}}}
+
+The called function would look something like:
+{{{
+def define_custom_test(db, tablename):
+
+   from gluon import Field
+
+   table = db.define_table(tablename,
+                           Field("test"),
+                           )
+
+   return table
+}}}
+
+If wanting to have a REST controller for them, then also add "custom" to settings.modules and add an entry to the rest_controllers:
+{{{
+settings.base.rest_controllers = {("custom", resourcename): ("custom", resourcename)}
+}}}
