What am I missing? Model Inheritance

I feel like I am missing something basic, but if any one has any guidance I would much appreciate it. I am stumped! For this challenge I need to make my model abstract so I can inherit it on the second model right? Thank for your help.

products/models.py
from django.db import models

class Product(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    description = models.TextField()

    class Meta:
        abstract = Ture
        ordering = ['order',]

    #def __str__(self):
    #    return self.title

class Digital(Product):
    url = forms.URLField()

Figured it out!

from django.db import models

class Product(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=255) description = models.TextField()'''

class Meta: abstract = True ordering = ['order',]

class Digital(Product): url = models.URLField()

Also I just noticed that I miss spelled "True". It is still not working however :-/

in ordering you must provide a field that is already in your class, after what field you want to order the entries? name or description?

And yes, you can't have forms.URLField() in your models.
