I am just learning Python and Django and can't seem to be able to
figure this out. As a test app I am trying to make a 'foodlog' app to
track food eaten, when, and calories. My model file looks like this:
----------- snip
from django.core import meta
class Period(meta.Model):
name = meta.CharField(maxlength=40)
def __repr__(self):
return self.name
class META:
admin = meta.Admin()
class Food(meta.Model):
eat_date = meta.DateTimeField('date eaten')
description = meta.CharField(maxlength=60)
period = meta.ForeignKey(Period)
calories = meta.IntegerField()
def __repr__(self):
return str(self.id)
class META:
admin = meta.Admin(
list_display =
('eat_date','description','period','calories'),
list_filter = ['eat_date'],
search_fields = ['description'],
)
--------- end snip
In the periods table the entries in the db for name are 'Breakfast',
'Lunch', 'Dinner' and 'Snack'.
I am creating a list of entries in the foods table and a details view
when an item is clicked on. On the 'details' view it pulls info from
the foods table and a periods_id but not the 'name' field
automatically. Do I need to do a custom sql join statement to pull in
the name field when retrieving an entry from foods or is there a
'django' way that I don't understand?
Thanks!
Brian
