I need to display information in Admin from def str like a self.name + self.last_name, but at the same time I need to show only name value in templates. How I can do it?
Now I see the same self.name + self.last_name for both

Just try `object.name` in templates. – sehrob Apr 29 '16 at 11:54

There's a very good explanation on how to do this in [this answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/23747842/243925) to a similar question. – Tony Sep 01 '16 at 22:42

You can define custom method in your model for admin page and use __str__ method for other things
def admin_name(self):
return '{} {}'.format(self.name, self.last_name)
admin_name.short_description = 'Full name'
and just append this in list_display of your admin model representation in admin.py

It's not possible to make the __str__ method behave differently in different views.
If you don't want to use the __str__ method in the templates, use the individual attributes instead:
{{ user.name }}
