has no attribute '_meta' error when creating a ModelAdmin object
django, python
Solution
When you write:
admin.site.register([Blog, BlogAdmin])
you register in admin two models: `Blog` and `BlogAdmin`, you must register `Model` and `ModelAdmin` for it, like this:
admin.site.register(Blog, BlogAdmin)
Problem
I am new to Django and I was trying to customize the Admin interface for my model but I get an error when trying to add a ModelAdmin object. My code and error is included below. If i take out the BlogAdmin object from the register statement, I don't get any errors and the site loads fine. Thanks for your help! ``` class Blog(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=300) url = models.URLField() class BlogAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): list_display = ['name', 'url'] search_fields = ["name"] admin.site.register([Blog,BlogAdmin]) ``` I get the following error: type object 'BlogAdmin' has no attribute '_meta' ``` Exception Location: /Users/Bilal/Development/Django/ENV/traveller3/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/sites.py in register, line 80 Python Executable: /Users/Bilal/Development/Django/ENV/traveller3/bin/python Python Version: 2.7.1 Python Path: ['', '/Applications/PyCharm.app/helpers/pydev', '/Users/Bilal/Development/Django/ENV/traveller3/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip-1.0.2-py2.7.egg', '/Users/Bilal/Development/Django/ENV/traveller3/lib/python2.7/site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.3c1-py2.7-macosx-10.7-intel.egg', '/Users/Bilal/Development/Django/ENV/traveller3/lib/python2.7/site-packages/scikit_learn-0.9-py2.7-macosx-10.7-intel.egg', '/Users/Bilal/Development', '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip-1.0.2-py2.7.egg', '/Users/Bilal/Development/scrapyard', '/Applications/PyCharm.app/helpers', '/Users/Bilal/Development/Django/ENV/traveller3/lib/python27.zip', '/Users/Bilal/Development/Django/ENV/traveller3/lib/python2.7', '/Users/Bilal/Development/Django/ENV/traveller3/lib/python2.7/plat-darwin', '/Users/Bilal/Development/Django/ENV/traveller3/lib/python2.7/plat-mac', '/Users/Bilal/Development/Django/ENV/traveller3/lib/python2.7/plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages', '/Users/Bilal/Development/Django/ENV/traveller3/Extras/lib/python', '/Users/Bilal/Development/Django/ENV/traveller3/lib/python2.7/lib-tk', '/Users/Bilal/Development/Django/ENV/traveller3/lib/python2.7/lib-old', '/Users/Bilal/Development/Django/ENV/traveller3/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-darwin', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-tk', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-mac', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages', '/Users/Bilal/Development/Django/ENV/traveller3/lib/python2.7/site-packages', '/Users/Bilal/Development/Django/ENV/traveller3/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PIL', '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/PyObjC', '/Users/Bilal/Development/Django/ENV/traveller3/lib/python2.7/site-packages/IPython/extensions'] ```
