Mike, welcome to Django.
The prepopulate_from relies on Javascript in the admin pages, so only
works in the site admin interface. However you have also set
editable=False, so it will not be seen in the admin pages anyway.
>From the Model Reference documentation:
"SlugField ... Accepts an extra option, prepopulate_from, which is a
list of fields from which to auto-populate the slug, via JavaScript,
in the object's admin form"
What you need is the slugify function from
django.template.defaultfilters in your save function to set the slug.
or there is an alternative at:
