I think you are looking to add _get methods maybe.
Do you have a body and subject field in your database? I'm confused where
they are coming from. And what you mean to do with the pretty name stuff.
try adding something like:
class News(SQLObject):
***
_get_body_pretty_name(self):
return 'Post Body'
_get_subject_pretty_name(self):
return 'Subject'
then if you have a news instances you should be able to get
news.subject_pretty_name and get 'Subject'.
I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for. If not please give me
more info.
