Hello everyone,
I have a model that contains alphanumeric protein names e.g. ('Ypp1Aa100").
I have to properly sort it when returning the contents to the html. I found
some fantastic sorting examples from this blog post
https://blog.codinghorror.com/sorting-for-humans-natural-sort-order/. I
have a sorting function in the view that sorts well and returns the
contents to the html. This works really well for my template tag display.
However, depending upon the proteins (mutant or not) I need a different
href. Hence, I have used a function in the django model as below
def mutant(self):
proteins = ProteinDatabase.objects.all()
mutants = MutantProteinDatabase.objects.all()
for protein in proteins:
if self.name == protein.name:
return False
for mutant in mutants:
if self.name == mutant.name:
return True
return None
Then, I updated the template tag like below
{% if protein.mutant %}
<td align="left"><a href=/mutant_detail/{{ protein.name }} >{{
protein.name }}*</a></td>
{% elif protein.mutant != None %}
<td align="left"><a href=/protein_detail/{{ protein.name }} >
{{ protein.name }} </a></td>
{% else %}
<td> {{ protein.name }} </td>
{% endif %}
However, my sorting doesn't work in the above template tags (due to if
else). If I use only one href it sorting works perfectly well.
To sum it up. I have a model named ActivityDatabase. In this model I have
to check whether it is mutant or not from the other two databases
(ProteinDatabase and MutantDatabase). If it is a mutant protein it has to
have a different href (/protein_detail/ and /mutant_detail/). In addition ,
I have a natural sort function in the views that sorts by alphanumeric
proteins. I also use DataTables js to display my contents (for extra
detailed information) https://datatables.net/examples/api/row_details.html.
There is also natural sorting in the datatables example which doesn't suit
my needs.
Can you please suggest some pointers to think of any other logic for this
problem? I use Django 3.2.
Kannan
