hi, some newbie questions here... after spending much time with reading/testing I still have no solution; some help is needed and appreciated. here's the problem:
having a class definition with a custom sql statement: class VMergeDocsInfo(models.Model): .... def by_categories(self): from django.db import connection cursor = connection.cursor() cursor.execute("SELECT DISTINCT doc_title FROM t_merge_docs") return [row for row in cursor.fetchall()] ...... ... and a view definition with: paginate_by = 15 paginator = ObjectPaginator(VMergeDocsInfo.objects.all().by_categories(), paginate_by) results in: AttributeError Exception Value: 'QuerySet' object has no attribute 'by_categories' following is ok: paginator = ObjectPaginator(VMergeDocsInfo.objects.all()[0].by_categories(), paginate_by) objects = paginator.get_page(page) return render_to_response('show_categories/index.html', {'objects': objects}) but now comes the next problem: return render_to_response('show_categories/index.html', {'objects': objects, 'hits' : paginator.hits}) produces TypeError Exception Value: count() takes exactly one argument (0 given) why? what's wrong with the paginator? thank you in advance, robert --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
