Similar question Django: "Can't convert 'Name' object to str implicitly" on saving object .It didn't work for me. Here are the relevant models.
class Author(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length = 20)
email = models.EmailField(verbose_name = 'e-mail')
def __str__(self):
return self.name
class Post(models.Model):
author = models.ForeignKey(Author)
title = models.CharField(max_length=80)
text = models.TextField()
created_date = models.DateTimeField(
default=timezone.now)
published_date = models.DateTimeField(
blank=True, null=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.author.name
It encounters an error when self.author.name is encountered. Error message:"Cant convert 'Author'object to str implicitly".
