I worked some more on James' hint: articles[0].num_publications() And I followed some tutorial exercises on making Template filters. After seeing DJ-Tom's hint.
And this is as far as I got from trying things... I'm trying to send two lists to my template so I can do some parallel iteration in my forloop. But then I realized that *type(articles)* is a Queryset and not a list so I can't use zip() like in the examples I'm reading. So how can I integrate my list *publicists_coverage* = [] # List 3 into this forloop template code? {% for row in *articles* %} #_______________________________________________________________________________ def index(request): publications = Publication.objects.all() # sum_publications = Publication.objects.filter(article__pk=1).count() # List 1 *articles* = Article.objects.all().annotate(num_publications=Count('publications')) #>>> type(articles) #<class 'django.db.models.query.QuerySet'> # 3 publication_per_article = [] # List 2 for i in range(articles.count()): x = articles[i].num_publications publication_per_article.append(x) # 5 total_publicists = Publication.objects.all().count() # Calculate things! *publicists_coverage* = [] # List 3 for row in publication_per_article: y = float(row)/total_publicists publicists_coverage.append(y) ziplist = zip(articles, publicists_coverage) context = {'publications':publications, 'articles':articles, 'total_publicists':total_publicists, 'ziplist':ziplist} # context = {'publications':publications, # 'total_publicists':total_publicists, 'ziplist':ziplist} return render(request, 'magazine/index.html', context) #_______________________________________________________________________________ {% if *articles* and ziplist %} <table border="1"> <tr> <th>Article id</th> <th>Article</th> <th>Publication</th> <th>Publicists coverage (%)</th> </tr> {% for row in *articles* %} <tr> <td>{{ row.id }}</td> <td>{{ row.headline }}</td> <td>{{ row.num_publications }}</td> <td>({{ row.num_publications }} / {{ total_publicists }}) = {{ publicists_coverage }}x %</td> </tr> {% endfor %} </table> {% else %} <p>No Articles or Ziplist are available.</p> {% endif %} On Wednesday, November 20, 2013 10:29:24 PM UTC+1, Pepsodent Cola wrote: > > 1.) > How do I use mathematical calculations on my forloop Article/Publication > list? > > * I have attached a screenshot with the table field that I'm working on > *"Publicists > coverage (%)"*. > * Admin user/pass = joe/joe > * I have also attached my project files so that you can see things for > yourselves. > > > 2.) > Is the solution I'm working with in "Index View page" the correct practice > to do my mathematical calculations? > > > #_______________________________________________________________________________ > > def index(request): > publications = Publication.objects.all() > > > # sum_publications = Publication.objects.filter(article__pk=1).count() > articles = > Article.objects.all().annotate(num_publications=Count('publications')) > * #articles_int = int(articles)* > > * sum_publicists = Publication.objects.all().count()* > > * #publicists_coverage = articles/sum_publicists* > > > # context = {'publications':publications, > 'sum_publicists':sum_publicists, > # 'publicists_coverage':publicists_coverage, > 'articles':articles} > context = {'publications':publications, > 'sum_publicists':sum_publicists, > 'articles':articles} > return render(request, 'magazine/index.html', context) > > #_______________________________________________________________________________ > > <article> > <h1>How many Publications was each Article in?</h1> > > {% if articles %} > <table border="1"> > <tr> > <th>Article id</th> > <th>Article</th> > <th>Publication</th> > * <th>Publicists coverage (%)</th>* > </tr> > {% for row in articles %} > <tr> > <td>{{ > row.id<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Frow.id&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNGG971NtAwWsaCVNskfLhyoY4rmew>}}</td> > <td>{{ row.headline }}</td> > <td>{{ row.num_publications }}</td> > <td>(*{{ row.num_publications }} / {{ sum_publicists }}*) = x > %</td> > </tr> > {% endfor %} > </table> > {% else %} > <p>No Articles are available.</p> > {% endif %} > > <hr> > </article> > > > #_______________________________________________________________________________ > > > 3.) > When I try to convert articles object into int it doesn't work.
