Im looking to create a view in the admin panel for a test program which logs Books, publishers and authors (as on djangoproject.com)
I have the following two models defined.
class Author(models.Model):
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
email = models.EmailField()
def __unicode__(self):
return u'%s %s' % (self.first_name, self.last_name)
class Book(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
authors = models.ManyToManyField(Author)
publisher = models.ForeignKey(Publisher)
publication_date = models.DateField()
def __unicode__(self):
return self.title
What I want to do, is change the Book model to reference the first_name of any authors and show this using admin.AdminModels.
#Here is the admin model I've created.
class BookAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ('title', 'publisher', 'publication_date') # Author would in here
list_filter = ('publication_date',)
date_hierarchy = 'publication_date'
ordering = ('-publication_date',)
fields = ('title', 'authors', 'publisher', 'publication_date')
filter_horizontal = ('authors',)
raw_id_fields = ('publisher',)
As I understand it, you cannot have two ForeignKeys in the same model. Can anyone give me an example of how to do this?
I've tried loads of different things and its been driving me mad all day. Im pretty new to Python/Django.
Just to be clear - I'd simply like the Author(s) First/Last name to appear alongside the book title and publisher name.
Thanks
