I'm totally confused over how Django uses ORM relationships when listing
out data. Let's use the "writing your first app" though I think it's
not a very good example. Okay, in the models we have some fields:
Poll.question
Choice.poll (foreign key)
Choice.choice
Choice.votes
So in a view you can specify a list of choices - let's say rpt_list =
Choice.objects.all(). Now in a template suppose you want a list with
the following:
Choice, Poll Question, Votes
Can I do something like
{% for temp in rpt_list %}
<td>{{temp.choice}}</td>
<td>{{temp.choice.poll.question}}</td> ???? can you refer to related
objects in this manner ???
<td>{{temp.votes}}</td>
or do we always have to pass in a dictionary of the parent (Poll) ie p =
Poll.objects.filter(id=2)
then in template use something like :
% for temp in p.choice_set.all %} ??? where does "choice_set" come from
? - is it automatically created from the ORM ? Does it automatically
create a set of choices that relate to the Poll object specified ?
Honestly, the official tutorial needs to be re-written.
