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...
Thanks for your help

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.

You need to override the __str__ method on SoulPractictioner. Right
now it is being inherited from Page, you can see that here,

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

Hey Graham, could you go into a bit more detail. Where is the
dropdown? What do the models look like?

Hi there
I have a foreign key to a Page Object. I want to be able to
control the text that appears on the drop down in the Admin.
I am guessing that I need to override ModelChoiceField like
here
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6836740/django-admin-change-foreignkey-display-text
However, I am a bit stuck on how to do this with Mezzanine
Would anyone be able to help me?
TIA
