class School(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length = 50)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.name 

class Education(models.Model):
    user_profile = models.ForeignKey(UserProfile, related_name='Education')
    school = models.OneToOneField(School)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.school

When I want add a education to userprofile with django admin this error eccour:

Exception Type: TypeError at /admin/social/education/add/
Exception Value: 'School' object has no attribute '__getitem__'

How I can Fix this error ?

Answer 1

To fix this you need __unicode__ to return str (not an object).

def __unicode__(self):
    return unicode(self.school)
