Django fix Admin plural
How do I change some models name from "Categorys" to "Categories" on admin site in the new dev django version? In the old version (whithout admin sites and admin models) you could just do this; http://www.the-dig.com/blog/post/customize-plural-name-django-admin/
However - now setting verbose_name_plural inside my modeladmin based class does nothing. Anyone encouter the same issue?
Well well, it seems like the Meta class approach still works. So placing a meta class inside your model will still do the trick:
class Category(models.Model):
class Meta:
verbose_name_plural = "categories"
Note that we use the lower case here, as django is smart enough to capitalize it when we need it.
I find setting this option in model-class weird as opposed to the admin.py file. Here is the location in the dev docs where it is described:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/options/#verbose-name-plural
for that you need to add meta classes for models
class Category(models.Model):
--- model field here ---
class Meta:
verbose_name = "Category"
verbose_name_plural = "Categories"
Bonus for your models admin in apps.py
class CategoryConfig(AppConfig):
name = "Category"
verbose_name = "Categories"
