Hi,
I'm new to Django, programming, web apps, the whole lot. I've been working
on an app for a while now, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to
organise my models in an effective way. Im using Django 1.10 and Python 2.7.
Here's a rough example of the structure I'm trying:
class Site(models.Model):
#...
def __unicode__(self):
return self.name
class Image(models.Model):
#...
site = models.ForeignKey(Site, ...)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.name
class Location(models.Model):
#...
site = models.ForeignKey(Site, ...)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.name
class LocImage(models.Model):
#...
location = models.ForeignKey(Location, ...)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.name
The idea is to have a site (like a castle or other area the user might want
to visit), and then each site will have various Images like aerial
photographs associated with it. Each site will also have various locations
around it with multiple images associated with that location.
So it works something like this:
Site
Images
Location
LocImages
I've tried doing it this way, but I don't know how to get the admin page to
show this, for one. I read a post that said that Django's admin page can't
have nested related items like this, but I'm not sure if that's actually
true. I was able to run migrations on this code when I removed the
references to it in the admin page, but I don't know how to access the
LocImages model in the API, like I can with the Location and Images models
using something like
"Site.objects.get(pk=2).location_set.get(id=2).locimage_set.all()".
So, is this how I should be structuring the models? And if it works in the
database is there any way to get this to show on a single page in the
Django admin?
The reason I decided to structure it this way is so each location can have
multiple attributes that are all fields of the same model, making it easier
to link them together in the templates.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
