I've tried this. The model is class Advisors(models.Model): advisorid = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True, db_column='advisorId') # Field name made lowercase. maphdid = models.ForeignKey(Tblmaphds, db_column='maPhDId') # Field name made lowercase. rank = models.SmallIntegerField() def __unicode__(self): return self.maphdid class Meta: db_table = u'Advisors'
in admin.py I have def AdvisorAdmin(model): class BrdgadvisorsAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): model = Brdgadvisors list_display = [f.name for f in model._meta.fields] return BrdgadvisorsAdmin admin.site.register(Brdgadvisors,AdvisorAdmin(Brdgadvisors)) So this doesnt work.
