Hmmm ok, can't get this to print anything. When trying to print the
threads array it does this:
[, []]
[, []]
So, it is looping through my friends properly, but it not getting
their threads. To be honest, ideally I just want to print a list of
all the threads my friends are in, and not a list of all my friends
plus their threads. I.E:
Thread: ABC
Friend 1
Thread: XYZ
Friend 1, Friend 2, Friend 3
And not:
Friend 1
Threads: ABC, XYZ
Friend 2
Threads: XYZ
Here is the latest code:
Model:
-----
class Thread(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(maxlength=200)
users = models.ManyToManyField(User, related_name='threads')
def __str__(self):
return self.title
View:
-----
# get profile
profile = get_object_or_404(UserProfile,
user__id__exact=request.user.id)
# get friends for user
friends = profile.friends.all()
# get threads
threads = []
for friend in friends:
threads.append([friend, friend.threads.all()])
return render_to_response('people/threads.html', { "thread_list" :
threads }, context_instance=RequestContext(request))
Template:
-----
{% for thread in thread_list %}
<h2>{{ thread.title }}</h2>
<p>{{ thread.friends|join:", " }}</p>
{% endfor %}
