Hola, I have an abstract base class, Person, with three children: Applicants, Students and Staff.
I have two questions. As per docs ($PATH/topics/db/managers.html#custom-managers-and-model-inheritance) I have three managers for the Abstract class: people = models.Manager() men = MaleManager() women = FemaleManager() with the appropriate definitions. For some reason, I can't get <child_class>.men.all() or <child_class>.women.all() to work. Any tips? Secondly, I want the dob and gender to be using special widgets, so in admin.py I have: class PersonAdminForm(ModelForm): class Meta: model = Person widgets = { 'dob': SelectDateWidget(), 'gender': RadioSelect(), } but then when I add the form to the StudentAdminForm or ApplicantAdminForm, it fails on the first field that's not in Person. Is there anyway to have a generic admin form? cheers L. -- ...we look at the present day through a rear-view mirror.
