How to omit Admin field verbose name

[Mike Dewhirst]

One of my Admin forms has a price field and the currency and symbol
depend on the selected region.

I would like to display (readonly) just the field content for currency
and symbol for example ...

"AUD $ [   222.22]"

... but all I can achieve at the moment is ...

"Currency:                 AUD Symbol:                $           [  
222.22]"

Is there a technique for this?

I have checked the docs and found I can use a callable but that just
uses the callable name as the verbose_name.

I have tried making verbose_name="" in the model but that still displays
the colon and lots of spaces.

I expect I'll need to use my own form somehow but I'd prefer something
simpler.

Any hints greatly appreciated

Cheers

Mike

I do something similar but not exactly the same.  Perhaps like this (WARNING: untested code) under the class MyModelAdmin:

    def get_form(self, request, obj=None, **kwargs):

        form = super(MyModelAdminForm, self).get_form(request, obj, **kwargs)

        if form.base_fields:

            form.base_fields['currency'].label = get_regional_currency()  # or other method...

        return form

Thank you Derek. I'll keep plugging away but I can't get it working yet
in admin.StackedInline.

I think I might have to go down the widget path.
