Hi everybody, I'm writing my first app with Django (quite a newbie
with python too) and I stumbled onto the following problem: I have a
template which has to regroup a object_list by a field that the user
has determined by choosing it in a <select> tag of a form. So, what I
pass via extra_context to the template is actually the string name of
the field, but I'm afraid the regroup syntax expects not this name,
but the field itself. How can I call it from the name?
excerpt of the view:
def do_smpSearch(request):
...
my_order_by = request.POST['my_order_by']
...
p = Docs.objects.filter(clause)
if my_order_by: p = p.order_by(my_order_by)
...
return list_detail.object_list(
request = request,
queryset = p,
template_name = "docum/docs_list.html",
extra_context = {"regr_factor" : my_order_by,}
)
********
excerpt of the template:
{% if regr_factor %}
{% regroup object_list by regr_factor as grouped %} <-- BAD syntax
<ul>
{% for group in grouped %}
<li>{{ group.grouper }}
<ul>
{% for item in group.list %}
<li><a href="{{ item.get_absolute_url }}">{{ item
}}</a></
li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% else %} ...
Further (related) problem: I saw in a prievious post (http://
groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/
3f85b80427df29d8/75192f4ed0f67c55?
lnk=gst&q=regroup&rnum=7#75192f4ed0f67c55) that if the field I want to
regroup by contains choices, instead of the field a
"get_FIELD_display" should be passed as "by" argument in the regroup
syntax. Then, supposed I find out a way to determine field objects
from their name, I should also verify if they have choices inside...
Any hint?
Thank you in advance
