Omission: the models and admin used in experiments have changed a bit from the original post:
from django.db import models class Base(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=10) lots_of_text = models.TextField() class Meta: abstract = True def __unicode__(self): return self.name class A(Base): a_field = models.CharField(max_length=10) class B(Base): b_field = models.CharField(max_length=10) class C(Base): a = models.ForeignKey(A) b = models.ForeignKey(B) is_published = models.BooleanField() --- from django.contrib import admin from improve_admin.models import A, B, C class CAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): list_display = ('name', 'a', 'b', 'is_published') list_filter = ('a',) def queryset(self, request): qs = super(CAdmin, self).queryset(request) return qs.only('name', 'is_published', 'a', 'b').select_related ().only('a__name') admin.site.register(A) admin.site.register(B) admin.site.register(C, CAdmin) On Apr 3, 3:03 pm, Mart Somermaa <m...@mrts.pri.ee> wrote: > and the resulting view is the worst possible: contents of *the large > text field* are displayed in the changelist instead of __unicode__ -- Correction: __unicode__ still uses C.name, but as #10710 kicks in, the contents of C.lots_of_text is actually referenced by C.name, so that is displayed. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
