that's good :) The thing that's hard to pick up is that the ORM (db) stuff isn't quite object-oriented, in the sense that you can't just use dot notation to get at stuff. But once you're in the templates, you're dealing with Python objects and the notation is more straightforward. In your case, 'ingredient' is an attribute of the LabelIngredients model, so Django fetches the ingredient object (using the FK) and you can then reference its attributes or methods. I'm no great shakes with SQL, so once stuff gets tricky, I've used properties to do stuff in the model, then it's simple to get at it in the template. But folks in this list are amazingly helpful with this, and I've collected a bunch of examples from here. -- Derek --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
