Re: Django Admin Error: pop-up entry form

Solved.  You need to add "u" to the unicode representation of your model's record.  As in:

    def __unicode__(self):

        return u'%s' % self.fieldname

This "error" does not show up in the normal admin page for the model, only when its accessed via the pop-up route.

Hi

I am using Django 1.5.5.  This error happens while running the dev server.  If I click on the "+" button so I can use the pop-up form to add a new entry to a drop-down list (i.e. FK to another model), I get the following error trace when trying to save that form.

Exception Type: TypeError at /admin/core/item/add/
Exception Value: expected a character buffer object

You can see there are no links to my code, so I am not sure what needs to change or be changed.  Is it Django code itself that is faulty?

Thanks
