Are you certain that the django admin interface is actually using
LiveEntryManager? I just tested this out (using trunk):
class BadManager(models.Manager):
def all(self): return self.get_query_set().filter(slug='')
def filter(self, *args, **kwargs): return super(BadManager,
self).filter(slug='')
and inside my model I have:
class Post(models.Model):
... (column declarations here) ...
live = BadManager()
objects = models.Manager()
When I try out my admin interface, it's properly returning Posts.
When I call Post._default_manager from a shell it returns an instance
of "BadManager"
If you're still seeing this problem with your code, maybe check for:
1. Are your "class Admin" values setup properly for this object?
list_display? list_filter?
2. Have you imported something called "models" into your models file
that isn't django.db.models, which is hijacking your "models.Manager"
declaration?
Some additional things to consider:
Any reason for having "live" as your default manager? Switching the
order of "live" and "objects" will make "objects" the default_manager.
Also, in practice I'll usually make a manager that adds some
additional features to the models.Manager and just use this manager as
my only manager. For example if I have Posts, where I tend to only
retrieve published ones, I might add a function called "published"
that filters down to published posts, which lets me do this:
"Post.objects.published()". This way all the standard functions of
Post.objects are kept intact, but I have some additional features
available.
