You were on the right track with __unicode__(). __unicode__ is the instructions to Python as to how to produce a human-readable representation of this object (in unicode). I'm guessing what you tried was: def __unicode__(self): return self.year which failed. This failed because what you are returning is an integer, not a unicode string, so when the return value is combined with other strings it raises an error. However, if you make a slight change to convert the year into a string before it is returned: def __unicode__(self): return unicode(self.year) Everything should work nicely. You can even get creative, and add in other bits of text: def __unicode__(self): return unicode(self.year) + u" Season" So that what gets display isn't just a year, but "1999 Season". Hope this helps. Yours, Russ Magee %-) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
