I have been looking at this for a while now and I am really stumped as to how to pull out the child model name from inside the field. I really hope this will be an easy fix, but I am about to give up. Should I file a ticket anyway, despite the fact that I know you know about it? > > However that still leaves a problem in any case where m2m fields refer > to the same model (or where somebody wants to specify the related name) > in the abstract base class and that's probably going to be a case of > hard cheese.

Couldn't related name be achieved by creating another abstract base class and extending it? This would allow for traversal based on the new abstract class name. Related names are more often than not used to avoid naming conflicts in the related class, anything else is just semantics. Creating an extra base class would solve the naming conflicts. > > Regards, > Malcolm > > -- > I don't have a solution, but I admire your problem. > http://www.pointy-stick.com/blog/ > > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
