and in the same way guys, (im sorry with my question's), i want to know how use the function SAVE (overriding??)

You can make amendments to the way things display in the admin forms by doing something similar to :-

from myproject.myapp.models import Event
from django.contrib import admin

class EventAdmin(OccasionAdmin):
    fieldsets = [
        (None,                  {'fields':  ['title', 'description', 'venue']}),
        ('Date Information',    {'fields':  ['start', 'end']}),
        ('Options',             {'fields':  ['moderated', 'promoted']}),
        ('Users',               {'fields':  ['creator', 'owner']}),
    ]

admin.site.register(Event, EventAdmin)

As I don't mention the fields I don't want to display here (autogenerated slugs, mainly!), they don't show.

If you don't want this field to be editable anywhere, then define the field as non-editable

slug = Models.SlugField(editable=False)

But make sure you auto-generate it, or set it as:-

slug = Models.SlugField(editable=False, blank=True)
