This is something I've been looking around for earlier. Thanks for posting it here as well! I originally found it here: (http:// groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/ 1f97ae29f23f71d4)
But after using that type of method to list a ManyToManyField (in my case, a field called "authors",) I realized that when viewing a table that has various column names from the model I was working with (in my case, a Book model,) I was seeing the name of the function listed in the column heading. And that is how it should be with the way I had it set up initially. But do you know if there is any way to set a ManyToManyField's column heading to something besides the function name itself? For example... I tried setting verbose_name='authors' in the model... but it didn't seem to work as expected. (No error really, it just didn't change the name of the column heading.) Have you ever needed to change the column name in a view of a ManyToManyField? Anyway... if so, do I need to use something other than verbose_name? Thanks for any pointers...
