Hola, I'm confused about adding extra content to a class based Generic View. I've read the docs at file:///home/datakid/src/django-docs/topics/class-based-views.html and have written the code accordingly.
I have Person, Certificate, Job and Compensation objects. The last three all have an FK (or M2M) back to a (or some) Person(s). My DetailView subclass (which I've put in views.py - is there a better or more correct place for it?) class PersonDetailView(DetailView): context_object_name = "person" model = Person def get_context_data(self,**kwargs): #Call the base implementation first to get a context context = super(PersonDetailView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs) #Add in a querysets context['job_list'] = Vacancy.complete.all() context['certificate_list'] = Certificate.objects.all() context['claim_list'] = Compensation.objects.all() return context But I don't want the full list of Vacancies, Certificates or Claims - I just want those that are linked to the person - how can I filter by these? I've tried .filter(self.get_id) .filter(self.request.get_id) .filter(self.person.get_id) .filter(self.request.person.get_id) .filter(applicants__get_id__exact=self.get_id) (in the case of Vacancy) etc How do I filter by the person object that is already in the context? I know the answer is simple - I should wait until tomorrow when my brain is fresher, but I want to finish this off tonight if possible. Of course, the other thing that I can't help but thinking is that at this point, the non-generic-view method of urls/views might be a simpler way to go. While Generic Views are quite versatile, is there a point at which they are considered to restricting?
