OK, that definitely fixed it, but it created another problem. Here's how it
looks now:
*pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published', auto_now_add=True)*
Exactly as you'd suggested. However, I'm now getting the following error on
all pages I hit:
*ImproperlyConfigured at /polls/new/
'PollAdmin.fieldsets[1][1]['fields']' refers to field 'pub_date' that is
missing from the form.*
I got it to work by commenting out a line in my admin.py file that had some
custom stuff set up, per the tutorial. Here's what that code looks like:
*class PollAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
fieldsets = [
(None, {'fields': ['question']}),
**#### THE OFFENDING LINE LIES HITHER:::*
* ('Date Information', {'fields': ['pub_date'], 'classes':
['collapse']}),
]
inlines = [ChoiceInline]
list_display = ('question', 'last_vote_date', 'pub_date',
'was_published_today')
list_filter = ['pub_date']
search_fields = ['question']
date_hierarchy = 'pub_date'
*
I suspect I've now moved on to a problem in a new area. The thing I don't
quite get is why adding auto_now_add to the pub_date field in the model
broke this. Any ideas?
