According to the page at:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/models/m2m_recursive/
All that is required to produce a recursive many2many is the following
code:
{{{
from django.db import models
class Person(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=20)
friends = models.ManyToManyField('self')
idols = models.ManyToManyField('self', symmetrical=False,
related_name='stalkers')
def __unicode__(self):
return self.name
}}}
When I try this exact same code in my application,
I get an immediate complaint that the table 'persons_idols' does not
exist.
If I CREATE this table manually then things are OK but the documentation
state that DJ is supposed to handle creating this
table when the 'through' flag is NOT used... it doesn't!
Please advise
