Is It possible to add one or more Char Fields to each ManyToMany field option?
My Models:
class engineeringUni(models.Model):
field2 = models.CharField(max_length=200)
des_eng = models.CharField(max_length=1000, default='Add description')
def __str__(self):
return self.field2
def description_eng_universities(self):
return self.des_eng
class engineering_courses(models.Model):
course_name = models.CharField(max_length=400)
course_description = models.CharField(max_length=1000, default='This is a description')
course_offered_by = models.ManyToManyField(engineeringUni, related_name='course_offered_by')
course_duration = models.IntegerField(blank=False, default='2')
def __str__(self):
return self.course_name
def description_course(self):
return self.course_description
def offered_by_courses(self):
return self.course_offered_by
def duration_courses(self):
return str(self.course_duration)
As you can see in the image, I have the options in the ManyToMany field. Those options are:
University 1
University 2
University 3
What I want to have is an additional text (Char) field next to each of these options (University 1, University 2, University 3).
Is this possible?
EDIT 1:
Current code:
class engineering_courses(models.Model):
course_name = models.CharField(max_length=400)
course_description = models.CharField(max_length=1000, default='This is a description')
course_offered_by = models.ManyToManyField(
engineeringUni,
through='ThroughModel',
through_fields=('course', 'university'),
)
course_duration = models.IntegerField(blank=False, default='2')
def __str__(self):
return self.course_name
def description_course(self):
return self.course_description
def offered_by_courses(self):
return self.course_offered_by
def duration_courses(self):
return str(self.course_duration)
class ThroughModel(models.Model):
course = models.ForeignKey(engineering_courses, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
university = models.ForeignKey(engineeringUni, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
additional_text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
EDIT 2: Problem fixed. I was getting that no table error because I had deleted the migration files and on deleting database (db.sqlite3) file and applying migration again, It fixed.
You can use a through model in the ManyToManyField (docs). This model can be used to store any additional fields.
class engineering_courses(models.Model):
# ...
course_offered_by = models.ManyToManyField(engineeringUni, related_name='course_offered_by', through='ThroughModel')
class ThroughModel(models.Model):
course = models.ForeignKey(engineering_courses)
university = models.ForeignKey(engineeringUni)
additional_text = models.CharField()
Take another look at the django docs referenced in the answer from arjun27. You have more than one foreign key in your ThroughModel, so django is confused. Try specifying the through fields in your engineering_course model, migrate the changes, and see if that works.

I'm having trouble finding the best way to override and add custom html to an edit/add model form in my Django admin site.
Here are the two models involved here:
Icon model used to store "Font Awesome" Icons:
class Icon(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=False)
style = models.CharField(max_length=10, choices=STYLE_CHOICES, null=False)
retired = models.BooleanField(default=False)
def delete(self):
self.retired = True
self.save()
objects = NotRetiredManager()
objects_deleted = DeletedManager()
def __str__(self):
return self.name
Workbook model that holds foreign key reference to the above Icon model:
class Workbook(models.Model):
client = models.ForeignKey(Client, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True)
icon = models.ForeignKey(Icon, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True, blank=True)
name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
workbookLink = models.CharField(max_length=1000)
retired = models.BooleanField(default=False)
def delete(self):
self.retired = True
self.save()
objects = NotRetiredManager()
objects_deleted = DeletedManager()
def __str__(self):
return self.name
Here are the overridden admin models for the above models:
class BaseAdmin(AdminImageMixin, admin.ModelAdmin):
def delete_queryset(self, request, queryset):
for obj in queryset:
obj.delete()
#admin.register(Workbook)
class WorkbookAdmin(BaseAdmin):
list_display = ("name", "client")
list_filter = (NameFilter, ClientNameFilter)
ordering = ("name", )
#admin.register(Icon)
class IconAdmin(BaseAdmin):
fields = ("name", "style", "icon_display")
list_display = ("icon_display", "name", "style" )
list_display_links = ("icon_display", "name")
list_filter = (NameFilter, )
ordering = ("name", )
def icon_display(self, obj):
return mark_safe(f'<i class="{obj.style}{obj.name}"></i>')
readonly_fields = ["icon_display"]
Here is a list display of some Icons I have in my database:
Currently, the add/edit page for a Workbook on my Admin Site looks like this:
I would like for that dropdown in that second screenshot to be customized similar to the "Icon Display" column in that first screenshot so that a user would choose from graphical list of icons as opposed to the default choicefield form containing the Icon names.
I've looked into the Django docs as well as similar questions on here such as this Similar Stack Overflow Question; however, I'm not fully understanding the proper way to implement something like this.
I hope the information I provided about my app is useful. Please let me know if you'd like me to provide any additional information, or add any clarifications!
I have two tables, which are connected with each other through a cross table. (Recipes <--> Ingredients)
My Serializer works ok, I can send POST-Requests and it saves everything. The problem ist, that every time a new Recipe comes in with let just say the Ingredient "Milk" then my Serializer creates a new entry in my database named Milk, although I have an already existing entry "Milk" in my database.
How do I tell my Serializer to use the Id of an already existing entry instead of creating a new one every time for the cross table.
Here is how I thought I could fix it, but it clearly doesn't:
class RecipeIngredientSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
ingredient = IngerdientSerializer()
class Meta:
model = recipe_ingredients
fields = ['amount', 'unit', 'ingredient']
def create(self, validated_data):
ingredient_validated_data = validated_data.pop('ingredient')
ingredient_serializer = self.fields['ingredient']
ingredientDict = dict(ingredient_validated_data)
// This is where I try to check if there is already an ingredient with the name from the form
ingredientObj = ingredient.objects.all().filter(ingredient_name=ingredientDict['ingredient_name']).
if not ingredientObj:
ingredient_instance = ingredient.objects.create(**ingredientDict)
validated_data['ingredient'] = ingredient_instance
else:
ingredient_instance = ingredient_serializer.create(ingredientDict)
validated_data['ingredient'] = ingredient_instance
recipe_ingredients_instance = recipe_ingredients.objects.create(**validated_data)
return recipe_ingredients_instance
This code also seems to work, at least I find an existing ingredient, but after the last create() it seems to ignore what ever I push into the validated_data['ingredient'] object.
EDIT
my models are:
class recipe_ingredients(models.Model):
recipe = models.ForeignKey(recipe, models.CASCADE)
ingredient = models.ForeignKey(ingredient, models.CASCADE)
amount = models.IntegerField(default=0)
unit = models.CharField(max_length=50)
def __str__(self):
return self.ingredient.ingredient_name + ' of Recipe: ' + self.recipe.recipe_name
class recipe(models.Model):
recipe_name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
assembly_time = models.IntegerField(default=0)
number_of_servings = models.IntegerField(default=0)
tags = models.ManyToManyField(tag, blank=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.recipe_name
class ingredient(models.Model):
ingredient_name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
ingredient_calories = models.IntegerField('Calories per 100 Units', default=-1)
default_unit = models.CharField(max_length=50)
def __str__(self):
return self.ingredient_name
I got the answer, finally. My mistake is this line in my Serializer:
ingredientObj = ingredient.objects.all().filter(ingredient_name=ingredientDict['ingredient_name']).
if not ingredientObj:
ingredient_instance = ingredient.objects.create(**ingredientDict)
validated_data['ingredient'] = ingredient_instance
I changed it now so that it looks something like this:
ingredientObj = ingredient.objects.all().filter(ingredient_name=ingredientDict['ingredient_name']).
if len(ingredientObj):
ingredient_instance = ingredientObj.first()
validated_data['ingredient'] = ingredient_instance
The ingredient.object.create(**ingredientDict) does actually create a new object (who would have known ;) ). This is probably still an ugly solution and I am open to more criticism but this does work for now.
I have working models, forms, views and urls for a django CRUD app managing customer functions for a business. I just cant seem to figure out how to write a view to allow a user to add comments, or other data related to the customer and stored in other models using a single view and template.
So for example; for customer a, all the comments for customer a with the option to add, amend etc.. and the same for the other related models.
I understand how to do it for one I will be able to make quick progress. (old school programmer here)
Here is what I am working with - keeping it simple.
MODELS
class Emergency(models.Model):
# Fields
name = CharField(null = False, blank = False, max_length=60)
address = TextField(blank=True, null=True, help_text='Street and town', verbose_name='Address')
telephone = CharField(blank=False, null=False, unique= True, max_length=20)
relationship = CharField(choices=(('P', 'Parent'),('S', 'Son'),('D', 'Daughter'),('R', 'Relative'),('L', 'Partner')),max_length = 1,default='R')
class Meta:
ordering = ('-pk',)
def __unicode__(self):
return u'%s' % self.pk
def get_absolute_url(self):
return reverse('conform_emergency_detail', args=(self.pk,))
def get_update_url(self):
return reverse('conform_emergency_update', args=(self.pk,))
class Client(models.Model):
# Fields
surname = CharField(null = False, blank = False, max_length=30)
name = CharField(null = False, blank = False, max_length=60)
# Relationship Fields
emergencycontact = models.ForeignKey(Emergency, on_delete=models.CASCADE, name = 'Emergency Contact')
class Meta:
ordering = ('-pk',)
def __unicode__(self):
return u'%s' % self.pk
def get_absolute_url(self):
return reverse('conform_client_detail', args=(self.pk,))
def get_update_url(self):
return reverse('conform_client_update', args=(self.pk,))
class Clientnotes(models.Model):
# Fields
slug = AutoSlugField(populate_from='name', blank=True)
created = DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, editable=False)
last_updated = DateTimeField(auto_now=True, editable=False)
note = CharField(blank=False, null=False, max_length= 300 )
# Relationship Fields
modified_by = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='clientnotes_modified_by', on_delete=models.CASCADE, name= 'Changed by')
clientnotes = models.ManyToManyField(Client, name = 'Clients notes')
class Meta:
ordering = ('-created',)
def __unicode__(self):
return u'%s' % self.slug
def get_absolute_url(self):
return reverse('conform_clientnotes_detail', args=(self.slug,))
def get_update_url(self):
return reverse('conform_clientnotes_update', args=(self.slug,))
FORMS
class ClientForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Client
fields = ['surname', 'name']
class ClientnotesForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Clientnotes
readonly_fields = ['slug', 'modified_by']
fields = ['note']
VIEWS
class ClientListView(ListView):
model = Client
class ClientCreateView(CreateView):
model = Client
form_class = ClientForm
class ClientDetailView(DetailView):
model = Client
class ClientUpdateView(UpdateView):
model = Client
form_class = ClientForm
TEMPLATE NAMES
client_detail.html
client_form.html
client_list.html
I have simple views, forms and templates to list, view detail and add and it all works well - with the exception of related models because i am not able to add both models at the same time. I need a simple clear simpletons guide with what i have provided so it clicks into place.
I have a model that includes a foreign key:
class Part(models.Model):
partType = models.ForeignKey(PartType, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
brand = models.ForeignKey(Brand, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
part_name = models.CharField(max_length=60)
class QuotePart(models.Model):
quote = models.ForeignKey(Quote, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
line = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(default=1)
partType = models.ForeignKey(PartType, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
# part can be None if the part has not been selected
part = models.ForeignKey(Part, on_delete=models.CASCADE,blank=True,null=True)
I have a form that allows parts to be added to a quote and want to want to limit the choices on the form to just the Parts that are the right PartType but my code is not working:
class QuoteBikePartForm(ModelForm):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(QuoteBikePartForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['partType'].widget.attrs['disabled'] = True
self.fields['frame_part'].widget.attrs['disabled'] = True
partType = kwargs.pop('partType')
self.fields['part'].queryset = Part.objects.filter(partType=partType.pk)
class Meta:
model = QuotePart
fields = ['quote','line','partType','frame_part', 'part', 'quantity','cost_price', 'sell_price']
QuoteBikePartFormSet = inlineformset_factory(Quote, QuotePart, form=QuoteBikePartForm)
I have tried a number of different things and so far no luck.
you can use 'self.instance.key_name' to the access the value.
So i have this two models in django:
class Course(models.Model):
def get_image_path(self, filename):
return os.path.join('courses', str(self.slug), filename)
def __str__(self):
return self.name
def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.slug = slugify(self.name)
super(Course, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
name = models.CharField(max_length=255, verbose_name="Nombre")
description = models.CharField(max_length=255, verbose_name="Descripción")
price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=12,decimal_places=2, verbose_name="Precio")
slug = models.SlugField(blank=True, max_length=255)
icon_img = models.ImageField(upload_to=get_image_path, blank=True, null=True, verbose_name="Imagen")
background_color = ColorField(default="#026085")
class Meta:
verbose_name = "curso"
verbose_name_plural = "cursos"
class UserCourse(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
course = models.ForeignKey(Course)
So whenever a user "buys" a course, it is stored in UserCourse. I have a view where the system shows a list of all the courses the user has bought. This is the view code:
def user_course_list_view(request, username):
context_dict = {}
try:
user_courses = UserCourse.objects.filter(user=request.user).course_set
context_dict['courses'] = user_courses
context_dict['heading'] = "Mis cursos"
except:
context_dict['courses'] = None
context_dict['heading'] = "Mis cursos wey"
return render(request, 'courses/course_list.html', context=context_dict)
I dont know where is the error and I cant seem to catch the exception (im using django with docker)
tl;dr
Something like this should work.
usercourse_objects = UserCourse.objects.filter(user=request.user).select_related('course')
user_courses = [x.course for x in usercourse_objects]
Explanation
There are multiple ways to do this, but one way would be to first get all the UserCourse objects for the current user:
usercourse_objects = UserCourse.objects.filter(user=request.user)
Then, for each UserCourse object, get the related Course:
user_courses = [x.course for x in usercourse_objects]
Now, the second line causes N database queries (one for each time we follow the course foreign key relation. To prevent this, the first line can be changed to:
usercourse_objects = UserCourse.objects.filter(user=request.user).select_related('course')
This pre-populates the course attribute of the UserCourse objects. More info about select_related() can be found here.
