Thanks for your reply.
Maybe my question was a bit misleading: where do I put default
representations for each model field on model level (not templates).
I want to have a nice representation for the other MyModel() fields. Must I
define for each field a method to accomplish my task?
class MyModel(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=150)
myinteger = models.IntegerField()
def __unicode__(self):
return u"Here is my: %s" % (self.name)
def my_nice_integer(self):
return u"%s" % str(self.myinteger).zfill(10)
Is there a alternative? Does someone know how django formats for example
dates on the admin pages?
Thanks
Bülent

Betreff: Re: __str__, __unicode__ representation of model fields
To get an integer to print with leading 0s print '%0d' % my_model.myinteger
To get an integer to print with 10 digits, filled with leading 0s print
'%0.10d' % my_model.myinteger
If you wanted this to be the default value shown for the model def
__unicode__(self): return u'%0.10d' % self.myinteger
