4937	edit_inline for a reflexive m2m_intermediary	Nicola Larosa <nico@…>	Adrian Holovaty	"This follows the [http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/models/m2m_intermediary/ m2m_intermediary pattern], but with associations, not between two different models, but between pairs of instances of the *same* model.

Given this Person model:

{{{
class Person(models.Model):
    first_name = models.CharField(maxlength = 100)
    last_name = models.CharField(maxlength = 100)
}}}

and associating pairs of persons, while adding some data:

{{{
class Association(models.Model):
    person = models.ForeignKey(Person, related_name='friend_of')
    associate = models.ForeignKey(Person, related_name='friends')
    some_data = models.IntegerField()
}}}

the admin interface for these models works correctly.

Now, to be able to add Associations while editing Persons, add
edit_inline and core to Association fields.

When adding them to both !ForeignKey fields:

{{{
class Association(models.Model):
    person = models.ForeignKey(Person, related_name='friend_of',
        core=True, edit_inline=models.TABULAR)
    associate = models.ForeignKey(Person, related_name='friends',
        core=True, edit_inline=models.TABULAR)
    dummy = models.IntegerField()
}}}

this error comes out:

{{{

}}}

When adding edit_inline and core to the first !ForeignKey field only:

{{{
class Association(models.Model):
    person = models.ForeignKey(Person, related_name='friend_of',
        core=True, edit_inline=models.TABULAR)
    associate = models.ForeignKey(Person, related_name='friends')
    dummy = models.IntegerField()
}}}
