I am very new to Django. I have followed the tutorial and instruction in document and create a couple models: Student and Course.
Student has Course as "RelatedObjectsDescriptor" Course has Student as ForeignKey *Course is *TabularInline object of Student. I was able to create Student object and add Courses Objects to student in Admin page succeessfully. Since I have a lot of student records and each student have number of course assigned. I would like to create a python script either using Sqlite interface or object in view to populate the database with these records. What I have done are the following: student = Student.objects.create(...) for each course: course = Course.objects.create(...) student.courses.add(course) student.courses.connect(course) When I view the database, all students were added and all the course were added to the appropriate student; However when I view in record in the admin page (change/update), none of the courses show as inline objects. If I add the course to the student via admin page, they all show up correctly. Any help is greatly appreciated. I am using Django 1.6 with the following APPs 'autocomplete_light', 'navigation_autocomplete', 'genericm2m', models.py class Course(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=100) instructor = models.CharField(max_length=100) student = models.ForeignKey('Student', null=True, blank=True) def __str__(self): return (self.name) class Student(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=100) courses = RelatedObjectsDescriptor() def __str__(self): return (self.name) forms.py class StudentForm(autocomplete_light.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Student exclude = () class CourseForm(autocomplete_light.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Course exclude = () admin.py class CourseInline(admin.TabularInline): model = Course form = CourseForm extra = 3 class StudentAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): form = StudentForm search_fields = ('name', ) fields = ('name', ) ordering = ('name',) inlines = [CourseInline] admin.site.register(Student, StudentAdmin) autocomplete_light_registry.py class StudentAutocomplete(autocomplete_light.AutocompleteGenericBase): choices = Student.objects.all() search_fields = ('name',) autocomplete_js_attributes = {'placeholder': 'suggestions...', 'minimum_characters': 0} autocomplete_light.register(StudentAutocomplete) class CourseAutocomplete(autocomplete_light.AutocompleteGenericBase): choices = Course.objects.all() search_fields = ('name', 'instructor') autocomplete_js_attributes = {'placeholder': 'suggestions...', 'minimum_characters': 0} autocomplete_light.register(CourseAutocomplete) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
