231,236 PointsThe error message indicates that "models.py", line 67, has this line (indentation uncertain):
user=ForeignKeyField(rel_model=User, related_name='posts')
This line is clearly passing arguments for "rel_model" and "related_name", but the error says that the definition requires an argument named 'model' which is missing.
You may need to review the definition for "ForeignKeyField" to determine if this argument should be supplied, or eliminated or made optional in the definition.
