Re: Using Model Object Data in views.py
Yes, I actually had an error elsewhere apologies. I understand objects fine, BTW but am new to Django (beyond the tutorials). It was odd to me that the error was happening it seemed like i should have had access to the data.All set now.

Using Model Object Data in views.py
Hi, this is probably a really basic question, but i can't find the answer anywhere. I need to get data from a model and use it in the view (views.py), before I pass it to the template. However, the result I get back (when i examine the local vars) has only the value returned by the __unicode function, in this instance, the "title" column. I need the title to continue to be what is returned by unicode but i need access to a different field in that model and pass it to a third party api. essentially my code would looks like this: from models import Video def get_video_ids: vids = Video.objects.all() for vids in vid do stuff the vids variable contains a list like this: [Video: vid title one, Video: vid title two] I essentially need the id. I have tried different ways of extracting, but they fail. Thanks. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Thanks, I'll take a look, Brightcove is an enterprise video service based in Cambridge, MA, Quite impressive API if you have the money and don't want to use a traditional CDN. http://www.brightcove.com On May 12, 10:44 am, Karen Tracey <kmtra...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Mon, May 11, 2009 at 5:45 PM, rpupkin77 <pthompson2...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > I need to have a FileField from a model handled differently than the > > out of the box functionality, In short I need to add it to the a > > Brightcove account through their API, can someone give me a really > > brief rundown of how I would do this? > > > I know it is a broad question, but I am a little confused about saving > > admin data and handling outside of the Admin panel, and the api file > > upload complicates stuff. > > I've not heard of Brightcove before, but it sounds like a custom storage > backend for it may be what you need to find/write.

Re: Custom File Handling Through admin
NOTE: I don't need help with the Brightcove API, I have a Python library written for that, I need to intercept the file handler and use my BC logic and then insert the rest of the Meta Data into our DB.

Custom File Handling Through admin
Hi, I need to have a FileField from a model handled differently than the out of the box functionality, In short I need to add it to the a Brightcove account through their API, can someone give me a really brief rundown of how I would do this? I know it is a broad question, but I am a little confused about saving admin data and handling outside of the Admin panel, and the api file upload complicates stuff.
