Hi, I have tried a number of ways to do this but I cannot get Foreign Keys to work with non-pk values. I keep getting a int type when trying to import a charfield, 'MotorMakeName' even though this is the type of field upon which the foreign key is connected. I've included the additional ids I used to force the imports to work, however this involves manipulating data manually on the datasets which I would like to avoid. Any help much approeciatted.
Please see model below; class MotorMakes(models.Model): MotorMakeName = models.CharField(max_length=50, unique=True, default=False) def __str__(self): return self.MotorMakeName or '' def __unicode__(self): return u'%s' % (self.MotorMakeName) or '' class MotorModelsV2(models.Model): MotorMakeName = models.ForeignKey(MotorMakes,on_delete=models.CASCADE,to_field='MotorMakeName', default=False) MotorModelName = models.CharField(max_length=50, default=False,) #Mkid = models.ForeignKey(MotorMakes,on_delete=models.CASCADE, default=False) ** I add this field in to force the FK to work, but it should work otherwise def __str__(self): return self.MotorModelName or '' def __unicode__(self): return u'%s' % (self.MotorModelName) or '' class MotorDetail(models.Model): MotorMakeName2 = models.ForeignKey(MotorMakes,on_delete=models.CASCADE, default=False, null=True) MotorModelName = models.ForeignKey(MotorModelsV2,on_delete=models.CASCADE, default=False, null=True) title = models.CharField(max_length=25, default=False,) fuel = models.CharField(max_length=5, default=False,) body = models.CharField(max_length=5, default=False,) engine = models.CharField(max_length=5, default=False,) Mkid = models.CharField(max_length=5, default=False,) Mlid = models.CharField(max_length=5, default=False,) Admin.py import import_export from import_export.admin import ImportExportModelAdmin from import_export.widgets import ForeignKeyWidget from django.contrib import admin from .models import MotorDetail from .models import MotorMakes from .models import MotorModelsV2 #from .models import Users from import_export import resources ################ Include impirt/export functions for each Model ################### class MotorMakesFileAdmin(ImportExportModelAdmin): pass class MotorModelsV2FileAdmin(ImportExportModelAdmin): pass class MotorDetailFileAdmin(ImportExportModelAdmin): pass class MotorMakeResource(resources.ModelResource): class Meta: model = MotorMakes exclude = ('is_active',) class MotorModelResource(resources.ModelResource): class Meta: model = MotorModelsV2 exclude = ('is_active',) class MotorModelResource(resources.ModelResource): motormakename = import_export.fields.Field( column_name='MotorMakeName1', attribute='MotorMakeName1', widget=ForeignKeyWidget(MotorMakes, 'MotorMakeName')) class Meta: fields = ('MotorMakeName1',) ################################################################## ################ Admin Site Registration ######################### admin.site.register(MotorModelsV2, MotorModelsV2FileAdmin) admin.site.register(MotorMakes, MotorMakesFileAdmin) admin.site.register(MotorDetail, MotorDetailFileAdmin) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
