Hi
I have this sample model working with the admin
class Author(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(_('Text in here'), max_length=100)
with verbose_name set as ugettext_lazy 'Text in here', but sometimes, depending on the site_id i want to present a diferent verbose name, so I modified the init in this way
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(Author, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
#some logic in here
self._meta.get_field('name').verbose_name = _('Other text')
It works, displaying the 'Other text' instead the 'Text in here'... except for the very first time the author/add view is used.
¿Is it the right way to do it? ¿How can i fix the first time problem?
Thanks in advance
