I am having a hard time to understand ContentType. I am learning from a
tutorial, this is the link . I have synced the database, and its working in
the admin. But when I try to load the ContentType objects in the template,
I get nothing. When I see the page source, the get_rendered_method is not
loading the rendered template in the homepage.html.
*These are my models:*
class Photo(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
description = models.TextField()
image = models.ImageField(upload_to=get_upload_file_name)
photo_upload = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True, auto_now_add=False)
is_public = models.BooleanField(default=True)
class Meta:
verbose_name = 'Photo'
verbose_name_plural = 'Photos'
ordering = ['-photo_upload']
class Status(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
state = models.CharField(max_length=200)
status_upload = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True, auto_now_add=False)
is_public = models.BooleanField(default=True)
class StreamItem(models.Model):
content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType)
object_id = models.PositiveIntegerField()
pub_date = models.DateTimeField()
content_object = generic.GenericForeignKey('content_type','object_id')
# The get_rendered_html method simply passes the retrieved object to a
template with that object's name
def get_rendered_html(self):
template_name = 'stream_item_%s.html' % (self.content_type.name)
return render(request, template_name,
{'object':self.content_object})
*These are the template for content_type.name <http://content_type.name>:*
*stream_item_Photo.html:*
<div class="si">
<img src="{{ object.image }}">
<p>{{ object.pub_date|date:"F jS Y, P" }}</p>
<p>{{ object.user }}</p>
</div>
*stream_item_Status.html:*
<div class="si">
<p>{{ object.state }}</p>
<p>{{ object.time|date:"F jS Y, P" }}</p>
<p>User: {{ object.user }}</p>
</div>
Where am I doing the mistake? How do I load different content_type objects
in the template? I would really appreciate if you could help me solve this.
Thank you!
