Filtering on action_object: Field 'action_object' does not generate an automatic reverse relation and therefore cannot be used for reverse querying.

Hi! I used your example from https://github.com/django-notifications/django-notifications/issues/64#issuecomment-111934724 to add a Notification model that is saved as the action_object.

However, when in the stream I try to return sender.actor_actions.filter('action_object__read': False) (sender ist the current user), Django fails with Field 'action_object' does not generate an automatic reverse relation and therefore cannot be used for reverse querying. If it is a GenericForeignKey, consider adding a GenericRelation.

I don’t really understand this error, because I am not actually querying in reverse here, am I?

Any ideas?

Similar issue here. Any idea?

I succeeded a bit with adding the GenericRelation and querying based on the related_name I gave that. However, then it failed because my model’s pk was an Integer, while action_object_id is a CharField (which PostgreSQL doesnt like).

I’ll create a test project to showcase this problem.
