First, since this is my first post to this group, let me say that
Django is phenomenal. So serious. In fact, "phenomenal" doesn't even
begin to scratch the surface . . . using that phrase to describe it is
an insult! Many, many thanks to everyone who has contributed!
On to business . . .
I have 2 models that I'm using "for training": Content and Category
with a ManyToMany field in Content to relate them.
For test data, I have entered 3 categories and 3 pieces of content
(one in each of the 3 categories).
In my understanding of the docs, I expected to be able to use the line
of code below to retrieve all pieces of content in the category with a
slug of 'list-1'. However, that appears to not be the case, as every
record from Content is returned.
>>> Content.objects.filter(categories__slug__exact = 'list-1')
[<Content: Piece 1>, <Content: Piece 2>, <Content: Da 3rd>]
The results I actually want to get are accomplished via the following:
>>> a = Category.objects.get(slug = 'list-1')
>>> a.content_set.all()
[<Content: Piece 1>]
Should I expect these to be the same (in which case I'm doing
something wrong) or does the section in the docs here ("Lookups that
span relationships") . . .
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/db-api/#lookups-that-span-relationships
. . . only apply to One-to-many relationships?
Thanks for any help.
BTW, I'm using 0.96
