Re: Django Admin - list_display doesn't follow FK links?

Hey Victor,

---------------------
I changed my subscription to my gmail-account because I'm not sure if my
email went trough. Here is it again.
---------------------

I do the following to get data out of a related table/model:

Of course you could access your other model via __unicode__...
Or, simply write a function for your model and use a callback in your
list_display:

Here an easy "quick and dirty" example:

class othermodel(models.Model)
importantfield=models.CharField(....)

class mymodel(models.Model)
value = models.CharField(....)
FK_othermodel= models.Foreignkey(othermodel)

def get_importantfield(self):
return self.FK_othermodel.importantfield

In your admin.py call

MymodelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin)
list_display=['get_importantfield']

Hope it helps!

Mathieu
