I agree with the previous poster - the title is misleading as the word "method" is incorrect in both places.
It seems that the original poster is talking about denormalizing data. However, this is unnecessary as the ORM allows for this type of data to be retrieved any how, e.g. Car.objects.all().select_related(depth=1) will allow statements like: car.producer.country_of_origin If you want access to country_of_origin directly on the Car instances, I'd suggest a property: @property def country_of_origin(self): return self.producer.country_of_origin Euan On Jan 25, 11:30 am, bruno desthuilliers <bruno.desthuilli...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 25 jan, 11:57, Jaroslav Dobrek <jaroslav.dob...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > can I use methods of methods in Django? > > What's a "methods of methods" ??? > > > Like so: > > > class Car(models.Model): > > producer = models.ForeignKey(CarProducer) > > country_of_origin = producer.country_of_origin > > What is CarProducer.country_of_origin ?
