Ok. So it seems you can't access the field verbose_name without a little
trickery. So here is how I did it.
Model:
def get_fields(self):
return [(field.name, field.value_to_string(self)) for field in
self._meta.fields]
Template Filter:
@register.filter
def get_verbose_name(model, field):
return send = model._meta.get_field('%s' % field).verbose_name
get_verbose_name.is_safe = True
Template:
{% for name, value in inspection.get_fields %}
<tr class="{% cycle 'odd' 'even' %}">
<th>{{ inspection|get_verbose_name:name }}</th>
<td>
{{ value }}
</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
If anyone sees any major problems with this please let me know. But it seems
to work quite well.
