Re: adding a model to show up in admin
Thank you so much Malcolm, I knew I was missing something elementary. Thanks for pointing it out.

Did you add a call in your admins.py file to register Topic with the admin? Like you will have done for the Film model? Models don't automatically show up in the admin interface.

adding a model to show up in admin
Hello,
I just added a model to models.py,
class Topic (models.Model):
topic = models.CharField(max_length=180, blank=True, null=True)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.topic
I can see it in the model that's calling it:
class Film(models.Model):
topic = models.ManyToManyField(Topic, blank=True)
but I can't see it in the admin. I can save topics through the
console:
>> from films.models import Topic
>>> p1 = Topic(topic='Arts')
>>> p1.save()
>>> topic_list = Topic.objects.all()
>>> topic_list
[]
and then see the topic show up in a choice in the film admin, but I
still don't see a separate topics admin. I hope this makes sense.
These are what they look like when I run sqlall:
CREATE TABLE "films_topic" (
"id" integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
"topic" varchar(180)
)
CREATE TABLE "films_film_topic" (
"id" integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
"film_id" integer NOT NULL REFERENCES "films_film" ("id"),
"topic_id" integer NOT NULL REFERENCES "films_topic" ("id"),
UNIQUE ("film_id", "topic_id")
)
;
And I can see them in the db.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Wendy
