> Question: In python, how do I access name attribute in Author? That > is, I'd like to know how to find out author of each entry.?
Hi Nick, The relevant documentation is here: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/db-api/#related-objects Basically, since entries have a many-to-many relationship to authors, you'll be able to access those authors via 'entry.author_set.all()', where entry is any given Entry. For each resulting author, you can get its related user as author.name. It can make for some awkward python in the views, since author_set returns a list (even if there's only one), and if you want to do anything with the authors you need to iterate over the list or slice it or something else. Worth noting: 'name' is a confusing designation for a related field. You'd expect 'name' to return a string value, not be a foreign key. It's a small issue, but fixing it will make coding easier down the line. Hope that helps, Eric --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
