Hi, I been trying to create a backward relation using queryset and the joining is working fine, accept that its not including the other joined table in the selected columns. Below is my models, queryset and query.__str__() print
class Main(models.Model): slug = models.SlugField() is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True) site = models.ForeignKey(Site) parent = models.ForeignKey('self', blank=True, null=True, limit_choices_to={'parent' : None}) class Meta: unique_together = (("slug", "parent")) def __unicode__(self): return self.slug class MainI18n(models.Model): main = models.ForeignKey(Main) language = models.CharField(max_length=2, choices=settings.LANGUAGES) title = models.CharField(max_length=100) label = models.CharField(max_length=200, blank=True, null=True) description = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True) disclaimer = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True) class Meta: unique_together = (("language", "main")) def __unicode__(self): return self.title class List(models.Model): main = models.ForeignKey(Main) slug = models.SlugField(unique=True) is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True) parent = models.ForeignKey('self', blank=True, null=True) def __unicode__(self): return self.slug class ListI18n(models.Model): list = models.ForeignKey(List) language = models.CharField(max_length=2, choices=settings.LANGUAGES) title = models.CharField(max_length=50) description = models.TextField() class Meta: unique_together = (("language", "list")) def __unicode__(self): return self.title and my queryset is Main.objects.select_related('main', 'parent').filter(list__is_active=True, maini18n__language='en', list__listi18n__language='en') and this is what my query is printing 'SELECT `category_main`.`id`, `category_main`.`slug`, `category_main`.`is_active`, `category_main`.`site_id`, `category_main`.`parent_id`, T5.`id`, T5.`slug`, T5.`is_active`, T5.`site_id`, T5.`parent_id` FROM `category_main` INNER JOIN `category_maini18n` ON (`category_main`.`id` = `category_maini18n`.`main_id`) INNER JOIN `category_list` ON (`category_main`.`id` = `category_list`.`main_id`) INNER JOIN `category_listi18n` ON (`category_list`.`id` = `category_listi18n`.`list_id`) LEFT OUTER JOIN `category_main` T5 ON (`category_main`.`parent_id` = T5.`id`) WHERE (`category_maini18n`.`language` = en AND `category_list`.`is_active` = True AND `category_listi18n`.`language` = en )' anyone can help show columns from list and listi18n? I tried extra but It doesn't allow me to pass things like category_list.* thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
