I think, I'm not clear in first place.
My confusion revolve around following
1) The table that I display is not constitute a single model from
django application.
It combine two models from django application and data returned from a
web-service.
Since web-service included in the recipe, it make me confuse.
For an example,
class TableOne(models.Model):
qID = models.IntegerField(unique = True)
x= CharField(max_length = 20)
# and so on...
class TableTwo(models.Model):
zID = models.IntegerField(unique = True)
x= CharField(max_length = 20)
# and so on...
Now, what I want is display a table which combines TableOne and
TableTwo and shows, ID (for which show qID and zID), x, and foo and
bar
And this foo and bar comes from two web-service calls one specific to
get an object with zID and another for qID.
with a single call with zID I get both foo and bar.
(I used web2py before, there, I get an SQLTABLE which is a
representation of model in table form, where for tasks like this I
apply a virtual field to retrieve foo and bar automatically. And use
powerTable for pagination of models. May be I'm looking for something
like this, that's why I'm confused.)
Show me the django way to do this.
