django+modelform+Foreignkey

[H.İbrahim Yılmaz]

Hi all,
I have some ModelForms.. This ModelForms based some ForeignKey
included models. When i want to create a ModelForm I got these
ForeignKey fields something like (in a dropdown menu) "BlaBla object".
But i want to get in that dropdown menus something like "Linus
Torvalds". I mean how can I show in that fields that Models name area
or adress area?
I made my ModelForm like that :

class Author

class AuthorForm(ModelForm):
      class Meta:
      model = Author
      exclude = ("status",)

Hello,

Try giving your models a __unicode__ method, so that you can
manage how they are displayed.

For example:

class Author(models.Model):
name = models.ForeignKey(User)
status = models.CharField(max_length=30)

def __unicode__(self):
return self.name

Cheers,

Kev

This is something you need to fix in your Model, not your ModelForm.
Give the Model a __unicode__ method.
