get_FOO_display not working ?

[Yves de Champlain]

Hi

I'm using StatusModel from models_utils :

class MetaData(TimeStampedModel, StatusModel, SoftDeletableModel):
    STATUS = Choices(('draft', _('Draft')),
                     ('submitted', _('Submitted')),
                     ('underreview', _('Underreview')),
                      )

Forms using STATUS work as expected, but when I load an object from the DB, I can't access the human readable data in my templates.

a.status => draft
a.get_status_display => draft

instead of

a.status => draft
a.get_status_display => Draft

Thanks for any hep on this !

Try

('draft', 'Draft') not ('draft', ('Draft'))

CHOICES =(('draft', 'Draft'), )

Maybe the choices should be

STATUS = [

    ('draft', _('Draft')),

    ...

]

I think the migration system might detect a change in the model every time it is run because the get_text_lazy() function can return a non-static result. Not sure about that.

I haven't used _() myself but I have used methods to fill up choices lists with just that outcome. I had to finalize the list prior to running migrate.

Not much help I know

Good luck

Mike

Hi

Actually, the human readable value is not (‘Draft’) but _(‘Draft’) which is shorthand for gettext_lazy(‘Draft’)
