Re: I am getting TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, long found. Please help.

Wow, I should've caught that. Thanks guys. However, since I needed a
string, what I did was add "default=x" to the integer field as
follows:

class Phone(models.Model):
phonenumber = models.IntegerField(default=10)
pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published')
def __unicode__(self):
return self.phonenumber

and it worked.
