Display ForeignKey label rather than ID in a CharField

I have to override the default display of a foreignkey field in a form and instead display it as a CharField. Currently it displays the selection's ID but I need to display the label instead To be clear, the select option would be the default display for the ForeignKey. At the moment after I've

View assistance

I have two models, Project and Task. They are related via a foreign key in the task model. The view that displays a task is below... def task_detail(request, project_slug, task_id): project = get_object_or_404(Project, slug=project_slug) return object_detail(

Field value from queryset as extra_context

Please excuse the subject if it makes no sense. Simplified, I have two models Pub and Town. Pub has a ForeignKey field called 'town'. I'm using the generic object_list view to display all pubs in a particular town (based on a town slug in the url). Something like this... def pubs_by_town(requ

Wrapping object_detail generic view in another view

Hi all - As the subject suggests, I've wrapped the generic view date_based.object_detail in another view, and while my solution seem to be working, as I'm still new to Django, I'd like to check I'm doing things right with the experts (you!). I'm creating a blog that has multiple authors. The ur

Count filtered by status

Hi all, I have two models, Provider and Record. Record has the foreign key provider_id. In my template I'm displaying how many records a provider has by using object.record__set.count. If Record had a status field, how would I display how many records with a particular status a provider had?

Thanks Daniel. Yeah it's just a way of getting the county so I'll try your second option. Could you possibly point me to the docs that explain the double underscore? On Mar 7, 7:39 pm, Daniel Roseman wrote: > On Mar 7, 5:42 pm, Jamie Pittock wrote: > > > > > >

Re: Where to install additional libraries?

Thank you Gordon (and Joshua) that's really useful. I think I'll use the site-packages folder then. After doing what you said I've noticed I seem to have multiple installs of Python on my machine (OSX). /usr/lib/python2.5/ /Library/Python/2.5/ /opt/local/lib/python2.5/ /Library/Frameworks/Pytho

Where to install additional libraries?

Hi all - this may well be a very basic question but I'm gonna ask it anyway as, everyone needs to learn, and I can't find the answer anywhere else. It's probably more related to Python than Django but... If you're installing additional Python libraries such as Imaging or Markdown, where are they

One-to-one relationship (model inheritance) or generic relations?

I'm still new to Django so bear with me ;) I have models for different types of venues (Bars, Clubs, etc). Because for example, I'd like to use one Rating model across all these venue Models I'd presumed that I'd need a parent Venue Model, using some kind of one-to-one relationship (until model i

Morning all, I'm learning Django and Python as I go. A long shot but does anyone know of some site code that's been released with some kind of "add to favorites" feature? I know, it's cheating but I learn much quicker from examples. Or alternatively any relevant resources that might help? Any
