Extremely Frustrated

2011-04-21 Thread Gandeida 
Hello,

I have been working through the Django Book, and I keep getting syntax
errors in the examples in Chapter 6.

The following example works:

class BookAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ('title', 'publisher', 'publication_date')
list_filter = ('publication_date',)
date_hierarchy = 'publication_date'
ordering = ('-publication_date',)
fields = ('title', 'authors', 'publisher', 'publication_date')

The next one, however, does not - it throws a syntax error:

class BookAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ('title', 'publisher', 'publication_date')
list_filter = ('publication_date',)
date_hierarchy = 'publication_date'
ordering = ('-publication_date',)
fields = ('title', 'authors', 'publisher')

Nor can I add fields back in to this example or I get a syntax error:

class BookAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ('title', 'publisher', 'publication_date')
list_filter = ('publication_date',)
date_hierarchy = 'publication_date'
ordering = ('-publication_date',)
filter_horizontal = ('authors',)
(would like to still define fields, but throws a syntax error)

Same with this one:

class BookAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ('title', 'publisher', 'publication_date')
list_filter = ('publication_date',)
date_hierarchy = 'publication_date'
    ordering = ('-publication_date',)
filter_horizontal = ('authors',)
raw_id_fields = ('publisher',)
(would like to still define fields, but throws a syntax error)


Could someone please show me how to include "fields = ('title',
'authors', 'publisher')" without getting an error?

Thanks,
Gandeida

Hello,

I am running version 1.3.

After copying and pasting about 20 more times, but getting the error
sporadically, I have found that the issue was the tab characters that
were being automatically generated to keep my indentation level.  I've
changed it to use spaces instead.  Thank you for offering to help,
though!  I just figured it out by accident :-)

Regards,
Gandeida

Hi Ogi,

It turned out that I had some tab characters in my code that I
inadvertently added when I copied and pasted.  I've changed my editor
settings to use spaces instead of tabs, and all is working now.  Thank
you for offering to help!

Regards,
Gandeida
