TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable (DjangoAdmin)

Using Django The Admin
1

I am trying to register one of my Models in the Django admin page (code below):

class Collection(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    featured_product = models.ForeignKey(
        'Product', on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True, related_name='+')

    def __str__(self):
        return self.title

    class Meta:
        ordering = ['title']

code from admin.py:

@admin.site.register(models.Collection)
class CollectionAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ['title', 'products_count']

    @admin.display(ordering='products_count')
    def products_count(self, collection):
        return collection.products_count

    def get_queryset(self, request):
        return super().get_queryset(request).annotate(products_count=Count('product'))

But I get this error for the collection Model for some reason and for no other model that i registered.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

In admin.py you are using count on foreign key i.e featured_product and you have given related_name as + in your model. You might be getting error cause of this, try related_name as product in your model or instead of this products_count=Count('product')) use products_count=Count('featured_product')) in admin.py.

Unfortunately didn’t work, but thanks anyway.

There are a couple possibilities that I see here-

  • You’re using the name products_count both as a method name in the admin class and as the annotation name of a data field in the queryset. As documented at the end of the ModelAdmin.list_display section of the docs, it’s going to look for the model field first, but I’m not sure if that applies to an annotation field.

  • Same thought regarding the use of the name products_count in the decorator.

My first suggestion then would be to “deconfuse” the situation by selecting unique names for these references to make it unambiguous as to which entities are being referenced.

Fixed the error. The Problem was that I typed @admin.site.register(models.Collection) instead of @admin.register(models.Collection). Can’t believe that I didn’t notice this earlier.
But thanks for your help anyway.
