hi Luke, Ivan!
I've migrated my new app to the m-r branch, it's AWESOME!
it's really simple to get things done:
[code]
gamesku = GameSku.objects.get(pk=gamesku_id)
article_list =
gamesku.articles.filter(article_type__name__exact=article_type).order_by('-submit_date')
[/code]
that's what I want :D
and, here is my **old** models definition, I don't know if it's
possible to do so with django trunk:
class ArticleType(meta.Model):
name = meta.CharField(maxlength=128)
display_name = meta.CharField(maxlength=128)
display_order = meta.IntegerField(blank=False)
description = meta.CharField(maxlength=2048)
class Article(meta.Model):
user = meta.ForeignKey(auth.User)
article_type = meta.ForeignKey(ArticleType)
title = meta.CharField(_('title'), maxlength=255, blank=False)
description = meta.TextField(_('description'), maxlength=500)
content = meta.TextField(_('content'), maxlength=3000)
submit_date = meta.DateTimeField(_('date/time submitted'),
auto_now_add=True)
class GameSku(meta.Model):
game = meta.ForeignKey(Game)
platform = meta.ForeignKey(GamingPlatform)
developer = meta.ForeignKey(Company, verbose_name='Developer')
publisher = meta.ForeignKey(Company, verbose_name='Publiser')
name = meta.CharField(maxlength=128)
articles = meta.ManyToManyField(Article)
the sql I wrote to get what I want is:
sql = "select distinct articles.id as id from articles, article_type,
game_sku_articles, game_sku where article_type.name =
'%(article_type)s' and articles.article_type_id = article_type.id and
game_sku.id = '%(gamesku_id)d' and game_sku_articles.gamesku_id =
game_sku.id and game_sku_articles.article_id = articles.id" % locals()
I was wondering how to "get a spefic type of articles of a gamesku
while gamesku & articles' relationship is many-to-many" in django
trunk..
BiG thanks to all you guys!
I used to be someone who didn't like django's ORM stuff, however, in
the new m-r branch, with brand-new ORM support and transaction support,
I'm LOVING it!
Django rocks! :)
