Re: Best way to get data into a HTML table?

[david]

Yes, I finished the tutorial, and it was very informative, but I could
not find in the documentation anything about getting fields from a
model, like Justin had suggested.
It seems like his solution might work, but it seems a bit hackish
(underscores mean private data right?). I wonder if thats how the
admin app did it.
Thanks anyways, I will probably end up using this solution :)

David,

The best thing to do is use the Django docs, maybe do their tutorial.

The link below should get you there:

Re: Best way to get data into a HTML table?

[Justin Myers]

Each model has a meta attribute with a list of fields on it; for a
Photo model, for example, you can use Photo._meta.fields.

This means you could do something (at least in the shell) like:

>>> fields = Photo._meta.fields
>>> photo = Photo.objects.latest()
>>> for field in fields:
... print '%s: %s' % (field.name,
photo.__getattribute__(field.name))

and get a list of all of photo's field names and values. I'm not sure
how best to do this in a template yet, but it shouldn't be that hard
to figure out.

HTH,
Justin

best way is to create a template that has for loops that list all of your data 
model's fields - that is what django is for.

Best way to get data into a HTML table?

[david]

Hello,
  Just learning about Django, and I would like to know what the best
way to generate a table from my data, similar to what the "admin" app
does. I attempted to dig into the source of the admin app, but I was
unable to achieve much.

I don't want to create a template that has for loops that list all of
my data model's fields, instead, i want it to somehow generate all of
the public fields in my data model.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.
