    <p>I have the following sets of models (abbreviated for clarity):</p> <p><strong>First set:</strong></p> <pre><code>class Web(Link): ideas = models.ManyToManyField(Idea, blank=True, null=True) precedents = models.ManyToManyField(Precedent, blank=True, null=True) categories = GenericRelation(CategoryItem) @permalink def get_absolute_url(self): return ('resources-link-detail', [str(self.slug)]) </code></pre> <p>which is a child of:</p> <pre><code>class Link(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=250) description = models.TextField(blank=True) website = models.URLField(unique=True) slug = models.SlugField(unique_for_date='pub_date') ... @permalink def get_absolute_url(self): return ('link-detail', [str(self.slug)]) </code></pre> <p><strong>Second set</strong></p> <pre><code>class ResourceOrganization(Organization): ideas = models.ManyToManyField(Idea, blank=True, null=True) precedents = models.ManyToManyField(Precedent, blank=True, null=True) categories = GenericRelation(CategoryItem) @permalink def get_absolute_url(self): return ('resources-org-detail', [str(self.slug)]) </code></pre> <p>which is a child of:</p> <pre><code>class Organization(Contact): name = models.CharField(max_length=100) org_type = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(choices=ORG_CHOICES) ... @permalink def get_absolute_url(self): return ('org-detail', [str(self.slug)]) </code></pre> <p>which is a child of:</p> <pre><code>class Contact(models.Model): description = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True) address_line1 = models.CharField(max_length=250, blank=True) address_line2 = models.CharField(max_length=250, blank=True) slug = models.SlugField(unique=True) ... class Meta: abstract = True </code></pre> <p>The "ResourceOrganization" model is properly overiding the get_absolute_url method and is adding the "categories" generic relation.</p> <p>The "Web" model is not.</p> <p>I'm at a loss to figure out why. Would appreciate any insight.</p> <p>P.S. I'm realizing that there may have been better ways to implement this functionality, but I'm stuck with it for the moment until I can refactor and would like to get it working.</p> <p>Thanks.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
