Say I am collecting residence history and I allow the user to submit up to five previous addresses. I have a PEOPLE model and RESIDENCES model and anticipate a many-to-many relationship between. Back when I was working with Joomla I would have manages these models (well, tables) with a table in the middle called PEOPLE_RESIDENCES which would have also included the dates of that relationship. And I understand that I can do that with a model and the 'through' statement.
But here is where I'm lost. When I get a form submitted from the user, how do I get all the correct rows written to the various tables. Assume for simplicity sake that I have a new person being submitted as follows PERSON --RESIDENCE 1, 2005-2008 --RESIDENCE 2, 2008-2011 --RESIDENCE 3, 2012-2016 So I would need one new row on the PEOPLE table, three new rows on the PEOPLE_RESIDENCES table and up to three new rows on the RESIDENCES table. I'm lost on how the necessary rows are added to the PEOPLE_RESIDENCES table. Is there some sort of value returned from the create/insert statements or do I send the ORM a structured object which manages all of the INSERTS including the relatioinships? Or is there something else I have to do? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
