DjangoBot: #django

as that's just going to be a pain

I'm building an application where there will be 4 types of users, each one will collect different data in the profile

hence the inheritance on the profile level

all, those whom are in love with django say i.

I

Hello Friends

the goal is to add users on one page, as I assume operator will be an idiot

(they always are)

I'd have to minimize errors

as additional difficulty users are identified via email which needs changes in UserAdmin from the start

Is there a way to specify the field names in a many-to-many relationship table? I know I can set the table name itself with the ManyToManyField.db_table argument, but can't find a way to set the field names

well, actually nobillh - related_name?

sry

billh: related_name ?

zalun|h: well you'd probably get better results writing your own interface for this

hmmm, I'll try that, but it seems for one side of the relationship only

which means standard Django way + Admin look?

yeah - I think I'll go for it :)

now to find a way to add the links to the stabdard admin... or actually I'll have to modify it anyway

smileychris: sry for the bother, here is what I have: http://pastebin.com/m61a3537c

smileychris: I get "global name 'comment' is not defined"

smileychris: I'm obv misunderstanding a step heh

zalun|h: what?

nope; afraid that's not it, zalun|h

zalun|h: no, i mean actually write your own interface

rozwell: there's no need to write the whole admin interface for that (I hope)

zalun|h: you're not talking about an admin interface

rozwell: what am I talking about then?

i don't know

rozwell: lol

but you're talking about something for stupid people to add four different types of users with

at any rate, do it however you want

billh: you'd have to use the "through" option if you really needed to specify the field names

rozwell: Sure I'll do it, just asking for advice. I'd know how to write the app without admin interface - I'd even say it's easy. But the thing is, for unified interface I'd like to use Admin interface. Then you suggested my own interface. I'd think it would be good to write my own view/template which will look the same as the rest of the admin stuff. Do you agree?

smileychris: I cant do a syncdb when I use label='' in the constructor for textarea, i get an unexpected keyword arg

Guest63511: because you're doing it wrong - textarea is a widget, not a field

Guest63511: try forms.CharField(label='', widget=forms.TextArea)

smileychris: yes, just did that, it works!

smileychris: thank you very much for all your help

that did it, SmileyChris. Thanks!
