[mezzanine-users] Foreign Key to Page Object - Controlling the dropdown text in Admin

[Graham Oliver]

Hi there
I have a foreign key to a Page Object. I want to be able to control the 
text that appears on the drop down in the Admin.
I am guessing that I need to override ModelChoiceField like here 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6836740/django-admin-change-foreignkey-display-text
However, I am a bit stuck on how to do this with Mezzanine
Would anyone be able to help me?

TIA
Graham

Hey Graham, could you go into a bit more detail.  Where is the dropdown?
What do the models look like?

Re: [mezzanine-users] Foreign Key to Page Object - Controlling the dropdown text in Admin

[Graham]

Hi Josh
Here are the 2 models (simplified to focus on issue)

class SoulPractitioner(Page, RichText):
pass

class SoulClass(Displayable):
practitioner = models.ForeignKey("SoulPractitioner")

When I 'Add soul class' in the admin I get the option to select a 
foreign key to 'Soul Practitioner' as expected.


The text that displays for each SoulPractitioner is what I want to 
change (I want it to be only the 'Page title' rather than what I get 
which in this case is

'Grandparent page title' / 'Parent Page title' / 'Page title')

Regards
Graham

Re: [mezzanine-users] Foreign Key to Page Object - Controlling the dropdown text in Admin

[Josh Cartmell]

You need to override the __str__ method on SoulPractictioner.  Right now it
is being inherited from Page, you can see that here,
https://github.com/stephenmcd/mezzanine/blob/master/mezzanine/pages/models.py#L54

Re: [mezzanine-users] Foreign Key to Page Object - Controlling the dropdown text in Admin

[Graham]

Thanks Josh
I think that I am missing something...
I have put this code in the SoulClass

def __str__(self):
print "this should appear in the terminal if this method is 
being called"

return self.title

But nothing appears in the terminal and the behaviour I am trying to 
change persists.
It would seem that this method is being ignored, which suggests to me 
that the syntax is wrong.

Fwd: Re: [mezzanine-users] Foreign Key to Page Object - Controlling the dropdown text in Admin

[Graham]

Hi Josh
I tried something based on this
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/models/instances/ and it worked!

Namely I changed __str__ to __unicode__

Not entirely sure why this worked but happy enough at this stage...

Thanks for your help
G

Re: Re: [mezzanine-users] Foreign Key to Page Object - Controlling the dropdown text in Admin

[Josh Cartmell]

Glad you got it!  I didn't think about it or realize it at the time but for
__str__ to work you would have to decorate your model with
@python_2_unicode_compataible, like this
https://github.com/stephenmcd/mezzanine/blob/master/mezzanine/pages/models.py#L33
