Hi Guys,

A few things I'm trying to figure out -- any pointers would be great!

(1) My model includes an Event class. Events should be displayed  
using the date as their name. So the name of the event might be  
"August 25th, 2006". But if I add a def(self): __str__(self.date) to  
the class, I get an error "__str__ returned non-string (type  
datetime.date)" -- how can I make it a pleasantly formatted date string?

(2) The 24 hour clock widget doesn't work for me. This is a nightclub  
so shows are almost always listed as 7:00pm or 12:30am etc. (am/pm).  
Is there a way for me collect this information more naturally in the  
admin form and then convert it for mysql storage? (note: it needs to  
be stored as a time object so it can be sorted chronologically)

(3) I'm using a pull-down menu for the event status -- using the  
"choices=( ('1','blah'), ('2', 'blahblah'), )" format. I've also got  
a sensible default selection.  But the menu still displays this  
option: "----------------". How can I remove this option from the list?

(4) I don't want to use Users/Groups/Sites at all. What's the best  
way to make it completely go away?

(5) Nine times out of ten, the user is going to want to edit or add  
events immediately after logging into the admin section. Can I set  
the events list page as the index?

(6) I meticulously followed instructions for overwriting the admin/ 
base_site.html template. It worked before when I went through the  
tutorial but now I can't get it to work for some mysterious reason.  
I've checked all the obvious stuff and don't know where to go from  
here. Any tips for troubleshooting this?

(7) For each band that gets displayed, there's an associated photo.  
The admin section displays the filepath -- any way to get it to  
display the actual photo instead?

(8) Any way to make the file upload a little nicer? Like to give you  
some indication that something is happening (ideally a progress bar)?

Sorry to overwhelm the list with noobie questions -- I promise to  
help out other noobs once I get a handle on Django :-)

Sean
