Re: Django's documention is horrible

My 2c (as a lowly Django user). Having used Another Large Web Framework (open source) for nearly 10 years, I can say with confidence that Django's human-written documentation is superb. The ALWF documentation was never kept up-to-date (and the online API did not really help much) - the user's had

how to change the default label on a readonly ForeignKey

Hi, I'm using django 1.2.4. On the admin, the default label for a ForeignKey field reference to User is User.username. This is less desirable to me and I am able to create a full name label on a drop-down menu, by subclassing ModelChoiceField and overriding label_from_instance as per the django

One solution is to create your own storage to upload files outside MEDIA folder. Also you will have to write own views to rwtrieve and display these files. Or you have to configure your server to serve static files in the way you want. Maybe there's better solution, but i did it this way. Radovan
