Do you mean an instance of the model? Like, if you have an Article
whose title attribute is "Testing" you'd like "Testing" to show up in
the admin for that article? If that's the case, you're not after
Meta's verbose_name at all. That's only for the model itself, not for
any instances of it.
To customize how model instances are displayed in the admin (and
elsewhere), just define a __unicode__ method on your model, and have
return whatever you'd like. In the Article example I mentioned, it
might look like this:
class Article(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
#... other fields
def __unicode__(self):
return self.title
Make sense? It has nothing to do with Meta options. Of course, if
that's not really what you're after either, I'm not sure how else to
help you.
