Django admin.py missing field error

Question

When I include 'caption', I get an error saying EntryAdmin.fieldsets[1][1]['fields']' refers to field 'caption' that is missing from the form

In the admin.py; I have imported the classes from joe.models import Entry,Image

Is that because my class from models.py is not getting imported properly ?

Need help in resolving this issue.

Thanks.

models.py

class Image(models.Model): image = models.ImageField(upload_to='joe') caption = models.CharField(max_length=200) imageSrc = models.URLField(max_length=200) user = models.CharField(max_length=20) class Entry(models.Model): image = models.ForeignKey(Image) mimeType = models.CharField(max_length=20) name = models.CharField(max_length=200) password = models.URLField(max_length=50)

admin.py

class EntryAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): fieldsets = [ ('File info', {'fields': ['name','password']}), ('Upload image', {'fields': ['image','caption']})] list_display = ('name', 'mimeType', 'password') admin.site.register(Entry, EntryAdmin) admin.site.register(Image)

Caption is a field related to Image and you are trying to add it against Entry. Try image__caption instead — karthikr

You can't edit fields from related models directly in fieldsets.

I suspect you have your foreign key the wrong way round. If you had a FK from Image pointing to Entry, you could use inline admins:

class ImageInlineAdmin(admin.TabularInline): model = Image class EntryAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): fieldsets = [('File info', {'fields': ['name','password']})] inlines = ImageInlineAdmin list_display = ('name', 'mimeType', 'password') admin.site.register(Entry)
