I am a new django user so please excuse my naive question.
I have a generic view function (see below) which is used to perform a
query on one of many tables (depending on the "model" argument) and
then render the results to a single template file (object_list.html)
def item_list(request, model='device'):
# determine which table
TableName = ModelNameDictionary[model]
order_by_field = OrderByFieldDictionary[model]
# Get a list of all entires for this object
if order_by_field == '':
latest_object_list = TableName.objects.all()
else:
latest_object_list =
TableName.objects.all().order_by(order_by_field)
# Get the number of objects.
paginator = Paginator(latest_object_list, 0)
result_count = paginator._get_count()
t = loader.get_template('object_list.html')
c = Context({
'ObjectName': NameDictionary[model],
'latest_object_list': latest_object_list,
'result_count': result_count,
})
return HttpResponse(t.render(c))
I am planning on using a generic template (object_list.html) to print
the data in a tabular format. How can I access the database field
names and the data if I don't know which table was queried and is
being renderd? Below is pseudo code from object_list.html that I am
looking for help filling in....
{% if latest_object_list %}
<table>
<tr>
<!-- Print the table colomn headers -->
{% for header in latest_object_list %}
<th>{{ header.field_name }}</th>
{% endfor %}
</tr>
<!-- Print the data -->
{% for item in latest_object_list %}
<tr class="{% cycle row1,row2 %}">
{% for column in item %}
<td>{{ item.column_data }}</td>
{% endfor %}
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</table>
{% else %}
<p>No {{ ObjectName }} are available.</p>
{% endif %}
