I have read quickly the article "Variable Choice Lists'. I don't have
a lot experience with Django, however I would try to explain my case.
I have a model in which one of the fields has to be 'SelectedField',
therefore I have to use a 'choices' options.
class Dataset(models.Model):
.....
.....
choice = models.IntegerField(choices=LT)
.....
The choice field in this model has to get information from other model
in other application, but in the same project. What I have done is
this:
from project.app.models import Model
all_entries = Model.objects.all()
ls = []
LT = []
for elm in all_entires:
ls.append(int(elm.attr))
for elm in ls:
(f,s) =(i,elm)
LT.append((f, '%s' % s))
So this manner I try to get information for this Field. I don't know
whether it is a correct manner.
Besides I would like to say that on 'pointy-stick.com' site are very
interesting articles about different subject.
Regards,
Nader
