TypeError: 'MediaDefiningClass' object is not iterable

Question

I'm attempting to implement django-progressbarupload.

https://github.com/ouhouhsami/django-progressbarupload

I'm getting the following error:

for model in model_or_iterable: TypeError: 'MediaDefiningClass' object is not iterable

admin.py

from django.contrib import admin
from accounts.models import UserProfile

class UserProfile(admin.ModelAdmin):
    change_form_template = 'progressbarupload/change_form.html'
    add_form_template = 'progressbarupload/change_form.html'

admin.site.register(UserProfile)

This is the traceback

Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

The first parameter to register is the model class itself. You have used the same name for your model class as your admin class. Give them separate names and pass them both to register.

class UserProfileAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    change_form_template = 'progressbarupload/change_form.html'
    add_form_template = 'progressbarupload/change_form.html'

admin.site.register(UserProfile, UserProfileAdmin)
