Personally, I think it is a Django bug. There are two cases. One is that 
Django figures out what to display from the model class name (or field 
name) all by itself. The other is that I decide what to display via 
verbose_name and additionally for model classes, verbose_name_plural.


I think it should not be getting title case.

I did some digging in Django source and found it won't be easy for 
someone like me to fix it. Hence the workaround.

Try verbose_name = " iOS Clients" with a leading space

Re: Model verbose name appears to split up on capitalisation (e.g. "iOS") - any way to suppress this?

2013-08-14 Thread Victor Hooi 
Hi,

Aha, that's embarrassing...yes, it was the lowercase M.

The extra spacing appears to be fixed now.

However, capitalisation still seems a bit funny.

For example, verbose_name-Plural on the main admin page (/admin) still 
seems to insist on capitalising the first "i" - as in, it appears as "IOS 
clients", rather than "iOS clients", as it's set in class Meta:


However, strangely enough the verbose_name is capitalised correctly:


Is there any way to fix that issue?

And DRF is just being completely random, but I guess I'll ned to look into 
that to see where it's getting it's verbose form from:



Cheers,
Victor

These textual representations should be obeying what you specified with
the verbose_name* options.

Are you actually using "meta"? It should be Meta with a capital M.

Can you try that and tell us if that solves things for you?
