#13307 closed (fixed)

documentation for 'Generic relations in forms and admin' is incorrect, or at least misleading

Description

Here: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.1/ref/contrib/contenttypes/#generic-relations-in-forms-and-admin

It talks about 'generic.GenericInlineModelAdmin' as if that can be used in admin.py to add Inlines to the admin. I messed with this for a while, getting nowhere (no Inline would show up in the model) till I broke open the code itself and found that the name of the Inline objects that should be used are 'GenericStackedInline' and 'GenericTabularInline'. Once I used one of those the inline appeared as expected.

(In [15124]) Fixed #13307 -- Enhanced the generic inlines documentation by mentioning the concrete Generic{Tabular,Stacked}Inline classes that should be used. Thanks loki77 for the report.
