Change the verbose name in the admin CMS

[Asakusa Tokugawa]

Hello again,

how can I override the filer foldername ("Folder", under /en/admin/) defined in "filer/models/foldermodels.py" in the admin CMS?

I try the following in the models.py:

from filer.models import Folder
class FilerFolder(Folder):
    class Meta:
        verbose_name = _("Folderoverview")
        verbose_name_plural = _("Folderoverview")

and in the admin.py:

admin.site.register(FilerFolder, FolderAdmin)

But when I try to open the folder in the CMS, I received

an error:

NoReverseMatch at /en/admin/models/filerfolder/1/list/
Reverse for 'filer_folder_change' with arguments '(1,)' and keyword arguments '{}' not found.

Does anyone have an idea?

Thx,

Asakusa

Since the verbose name is on the Folder model, it is not easy to override by subclassing.

Not pretty at all, but probably monkey-patching it would work:

filer.models.Folder._meta.verbose_name = _("Folderoverview")
