Django - Display "Model Object" in the admin page instead of Object title

Question

As displayed in the image it displays "Lecture Object" instead of the Lecture's title. As I've understood it, unicode should take care of this, but it doesn't seem to here.

Here is my unicode method:

def __unicode__(self):
    return self.title

Answer 1

To display a custom string as your Model's object representation, you should:

In Python 2.x

def __unicode__(self):
    return self.some_attr  # What you want to show

In Python 3.x

def __str__(self):
    return self.some_attr  # What you want to show
