heya, Ok, scratch all that, I'm an idiot.
A simple restart of my Apache process, and the m2m intermediary inline works *grins*. Thanks anyhow to the awesome Django community for an awesome tool =). I do have a final question though. I can now edit "Firms" as inlines from the "Article" page, which is good. However, to be honest, the filter_horizontal widget was a much better interface. I suppose there's no way to somehow use the filter_horizontal widget within the inline, and then tack on a "Rating" field as part of the inline? Also, I notice that in my inline, it says "FirmRating object" right above the select box:' http://twitpic.com/1zo4im/full Any way to hide/tweak that text?
