In django admin, I have a model in which there are several objects. Now in admin, I have the link to Mymodel. If i click that, I get a list, all of which say
Mymodel object
If I need to find a particular record from the table, then I simply have to search the whole list. How can I change the setting so that instead of MyModel object I get to see an attribute, say name of that particular object??
You should define __unicode__ method in your model class:
def __unicode__(self):
return self.name # to display name attribute
From django docs:
The
__unicode__()method is called whenever you call unicode() on an object. Django uses unicode(obj) (or the related function, str(obj)) in a number of places. Most notably, to display an object in the Django admin site and as the value inserted into a template when it displays an object. Thus, you should always return a nice, human-readable representation of the model from the__unicode__()method.
