In trying to better wrap my head around the workings of web2py, I am attempting to convert a Django tutorial I used a while back to learn Django into web2py-speak. It is a series of video tutorials that walk one through building a twitter-ish site (Start The Dark).
I am already confused about how to implement the Django style many-to- many relationship in web2py. The model starts out in the Django tutorial like so (this is the just the begining): # in models.py from django.db import models from datetime import datetime, timedelta from django.contrib.auth.models import User class Event(models.Model): description = models.TextField() creation_date = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.now) start_date = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True) creator = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='event_creator_set') attendees = models.ManyToManyField(User, through='Attendance') latest = models.BooleanField(default=True) def __unicode__(self): return self.description class Attendance(models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(User) event = models.ForeignKey(Event) registration_date = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.now) def __unicode__(self): return u"%s is attending %s" % (self.username, self.event) The ultimate result at the end of the tutorial series is a site where users can post one event per day and other users can "attend" events I left out some of the requirements here like the custom managers and querysets. for clarity and brevity. How would I do this in web2py, assuming i wanted to use the auth_user table for users? Once I figure out how, I would like to do the whole project w/ screencasts. I think it will help my understanding a lot and it might make a nice learning guide for others coming from Django Thanks, __future__ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
