Django Admin: Many-to-Many listbox doesn't show up with a through parameter
- by NP
Hi All,
I have the following models:
class Message(models.Model):
date = models.DateTimeField()
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
thread = models.ForeignKey('self', blank=True, null=True)
...
class Forum(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=24)
messages = models.ManyToManyField(Message, through="Message_forum", blank=True, null=True)
...
class Message_forum(models.Model):
message = models.ForeignKey(Message)
forum = models.ForeignKey(Forum)
status = models.IntegerField()
position = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True)
tags = models.ManyToManyField(Tag, blank=True, null=True)
In the admin site, when I go to add/change a forum, I don't see the messages listbox as you'd expect. However, it shows up if I remove the 'through' parameter in the ManyToManyField declaration. What's up with that? I've registered all three models (plus Tag) to the admin site in admin.py.
TIA
