Question

I made a simple Django app. I have one model “Visitor”. My goal is to have two two tables appear in the Django admin. One with all of the visitors and one with only those for today.

I got everything working with the code below by following these instructions. However my trouble is I can’t get VisitorExpectedTodayProxy to show up in the “available permissions” when editing groups in the admin page. Does anyone know how to do that?

Models.py

class Visitor(models.Model):
    visit_datetime = models.DateTimeField(null=True)
    visitor_name = models.CharField(max_length=500)

#Make dummy models for different object views in admin interface
class VisitorExpectedTodayProxy(Visitor):
    class Meta:
        proxy=True
        verbose_name = "Visitor"
        verbose_name_plural = "Today's Visitors and Regular Visitors"

Update:

I did run syncdb but I’m still not seeing it on the admin site. Results of syncdb:

$ python manage.py syncdb
Syncing...
No fixtures found.

Synced:
 > django.contrib.auth
 > django.contrib.contenttypes
 > django.contrib.sessions
 > django.contrib.sites
 > django.contrib.messages
 > django.contrib.admin
 > south

I documented my hack to work around this here.
