 ==== Probable cause ====
 
-You may have forgotten to create a {{{__unicode__()}}} function for your model. Django calls {{{__unicode__()}}} to find out how to display objects in the admin interface. An alternate cause is the string you return from {{{__unicode__()}}} includes brackets (an therefore looks like an html tag), and is cleaned up by the {{{strip_tags}}} template filter, resulting in blank entries.
-
-==== Solution ====
-
-Add a correct {{{__unicode__()}}} function (without brackets in the output) to all your models. Make it a habit so it becomes automatic.
