Re: [mezzanine-users] Foreign Key to Page Object - Controlling the dropdown text in Admin
Hi Josh Here are the 2 models (simplified to focus on issue) class SoulPractitioner(Page, RichText): pass class SoulClass(Displayable): practitioner = models.ForeignKey(SoulPractitioner) When I 'Add soul class' in the admin I get the option to select a foreign key to 'Soul Practitioner' as expected. The text that displays for each SoulPractitioner is what I want to change (I want it to be only the 'Page title' rather than what I get which in this case is 'Grandparent page title' / 'Parent Page title' / 'Page title') Regards Graham On 05/02/15 06:36, Josh Cartmell wrote: Hey Graham, could you go into a bit more detail.

Re: [mezzanine-users] Foreign Key to Page Object - Controlling the dropdown text in Admin
You need to override the __str__ method on SoulPractictioner. Right now it is being inherited from Page, you can see that here, https://github.com/stephenmcd/mezzanine/blob/master/mezzanine/pages/models.py#L54 On Wed, Feb 4, 2015 at 2:31 PM, Graham greenbay.gra...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Josh Here are the 2 models (simplified to focus on issue) class SoulPractitioner(Page, RichText): pass class SoulClass(Displayable): practitioner = models.ForeignKey(SoulPractitioner) When I 'Add soul class' in the admin I get the option to select a foreign key to 'Soul Practitioner' as expected.

Re: [mezzanine-users] Foreign Key to Page Object - Controlling the dropdown text in Admin
Thanks Josh I think that I am missing something... I have put this code in the SoulClass def __str__(self): print this should appear in the terminal if this method is being called return self.title But nothing appears in the terminal and the behaviour I am trying to change persists. It would seem that this method is being ignored, which suggests to me that the syntax is wrong. G On 05/02/15 09:15, Josh Cartmell wrote: You need to override the __str__ method on SoulPractictioner.

Fwd: Re: [mezzanine-users] Foreign Key to Page Object - Controlling the dropdown text in Admin
Hi Josh I tried something based on this https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/models/instances/ and it worked! Namely I changed __str__ to __unicode__ Not entirely sure why this worked but happy enough at this stage...
