I have a model, which has a related model, which then has a related m2m field (See defs below).
I want to add a method to the m2m model (ie: "Button") which, when called in a template, will get me the original record that called the relation. Is this possible? See method attempt below in the "Button" model, called "get_duid". The point in this attempt is to be able to return the original id within the template when iterating through the buttons of a particular "DocumentUnit". class DocumentUnit(models.Model): parent = models.ForeignKey('self', null=True, blank=True, related_name='children') unittype = models.ForeignKey(DocumentUnitType, related_name='du') content = models.TextField() class DocumentUnitType(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=40) description = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True) buttons = models.ManyToManyField('Button', null=True, blank=True, related_name='button_du_types') class Button(models.Model): btn_code = models.CharField(max_length=20) title = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True) href = models.CharField(max_length=150, blank=True) viewname = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True) css_class = models.CharField(max_length=70, blank=True) text = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True) prefix_id = models.CharField(max_length=20) order = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True) def get_duid(self): return self.button_du_types.pk Thanks for any help you can give me with this. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
