Django admin uses default Manager

[Alasdair <alasdair@…>]

I've defined a custom manager for my Entry model:

Class Entry(models.Model):
    [snip...]
    live = LiveEntryManager()
    objects = models.Manager()

The documentation says:

"Django interprets this first Manager defined in a class as the "default" Manager, and several parts of Django (though not the admin application) will use that Manager exclusively for that model."

which I understand to mean that the admin will continue to use models.Manager. However the admin appears to use the LiveEntryManager. It is not clear how I can get the admin application to use models.Manager, and display all Entries.

Apologies if I've misunderstood the documentation.

The docs are correct; LiveEntryManager is the "first Manager defined in [the] class", and so the admin uses it to access entries for that model. Look into the queryset argument to ModelAdmin to change what queryset the admin uses.

Replying to jacob:

Except the parenthetical comment in the docs state the admin will NOT use the default manager exclusively. If I didn't know about setting queryset for a ModelAdmin (which doesn't seem to be documented?) I would have interpreted that parenthetical aside the same way the reporter did. That sentence is very confusing.
