As far as I can see in principle you would want to leave the live manager first as your default manager and then override it in your admin class as the exception - something like this:
class EntryAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): ... manager = Entry.objects But admin needs patching to make that work which is an open ticket http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/7510. At the moment you would need to override every method in admin.ModelAdmin that gets the default manager, so it's easier at the moment just to make the standard manager the default instead of your custom manager. I'm writing a blog on this book - but I am only just finishing up chapter 5 which first defines the custom manager. http://blog.haydon.id.au/2008/08/notes-on-practical-django-projects.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
