Not possible to create model EntryAuthors(select2.models.SortableThroughModel)

Not possible to create model EntryAuthors(select2.models.SortableThroughModel)

[fdintino]

We're using Django 1.8, and our models look something like this:

from django.db import models

import select2.fields
import select2.models


class Author(models.Model):

    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)


class Entry(models.Model):

    authors = select2.fields.ManyToManyField(Author,
        through='EntryAuthors',
        sort_field='position')


class EntryAuthors(select2.models.SortableThroughModel):

    author = models.ForeignKey(Author)
    entry = models.ForeignKey(Entry)
    position = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField()

    class Meta:
        ordering = ['position']

Thank you for replay but it didn't help.
I try like this: first I installed your modul 1.1.25,
then I set in installed_App 'select2',
in url I put url(r'^select2/', include('select2.urls')),
then I went to model.py and I put on top

from django.db import models
import select2.fields
import select2.models

at the end of page I added first model

class Author(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)

and created migration and migrate ( python manage.py makemigration and migrate)

later I added rest code and execute makemigration and migrate but django didn't create migration for table EntryAuthors it create only for Entry

Oh! I see what you're saying. Let me look into this and get back to you.

Here is my code:

Let me know if you find a reason why avoid to create model EntryAuthors(select2.models.SortableThroughModel):

I tried today to download last version 1.1.27 and act same as 1.1.25.
I tried to install this module with in django 1.5.5 project and makes same problem avoid to create middle table EntryAuthors

This is an old ticket, but in the newest version (2.0.0) I've switched to using django-sortedm2m for this functionality, which fixes the issues with the through table not being created in migrations.
