Comment (by etienned):
I found a solution that works with 1.2. Here it is:
{{{
#!python
class User(models.Model):
groups = models.ManyToManyField('Group', through='UserGroups')
class Group(models.Model):
users = models.ManyToManyField('User', through='UserGroups')
class UserGroups(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
group = models.ForeignKey(Group)
class Meta:
db_table = 'app_user_groups'
auto_created = User
}}}
This way ''syncdb'' create the ''UserGroups'' table only one time (because
''users'' and ''groups'' have ''through'' as argument) but the admin think
is ''auto_created'' so it show the ''ManyToManyField'' directly for both
''User'' and ''Group''.
But that's definitely a lot of trouble to have the field in both model
admin pages. I don't think the solution is to modified ''syncdb'' either.
I think russellm's suggestions are good avenues.
