@ -1000,9 +1000,17 @@ There are a few restrictions on the intermediate model:
|

* Your intermediate model must contain one - and *only* one - foreign key
|

on the source model (this would be ``Group`` in our example). If you

have more than one foreign key, a validation error will be raised.

* If the many-to-many relation is a relation on itself, the relationship
|
||||
must be non-symmetric.
|
||||
|
||||
* The only exception to this is a model which has a many-to-many
|
||||
relationship to itself, through an intermediary model. In this
|
||||
case, two foreign keys to the same model are permitted, but they
|
||||
will be treated as the two (different) sides of the many-to-many
|
||||
relation.
|

|

* When defining a many-to-many relationship from a model to
|
||||
itself, using an intermediary model, you *must* use
|
||||
``symmetrical=False`` (see the documentation for
|
||||
``ManyToManyField`` above).

Now that you have set up your ``ManyToManyField`` to use your intermediary

model (Membership, in this case), you're ready to start creating some
