Nikhil, This email will be significantly shorter than the one I wrote 5 minutes ago before my laptop ran out of battery and failed to get sent. I didn't explain this clearly so I am going to give an example (a much smaller one than the one I jsut wrote). Lets say I have 3 object As (a1, a2, a3) and 3 object Bs (b1, b2, b3). the relations are as follows: a1 to (b1, b2), a2 to (b2, b3), a3 to (b1, b3) The user who makes the request is b2. b2 has a "friend connection" with b1 only (so b2 to (b1,)). It could have more friends, but for simplicity it will have only 1. What I want to return is this: a1 to (b1,), a2 to None, a3 to (b1,).
I always want to return all of my model "A" objects, but I want to filter the model "B" objects within each based on who the current user's "friend connections are". How do I do this in code?
