filter is used to retrieve many records, get is used to retrieve 1 record. if your are working with a ForeignKey on your Post model like so: def Post(models.Model): name = CharField() author = model.ForgeinKey(Author) and user is an object of type Author then this should give you all the Posts for one Author. user.post_set.all() and user.post_set.count() will give you number of posts of the user. all this information is in the docs at: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/db-api/ specifically http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/db-api/#related-objects and http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/db-api/#count adi > > > I tried with that and i get the next error: > > Incorrect integer value: '[<User: jorgeromo>]' for column 'Author_id' > at row 1 > > On May 12, 12:40 pm, Romo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> It works!! >> >> Thanks a lot for your help, Adi! >> >> cheers >> >> On May 12, 12:25 pm, Adi Jörg Sieker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >>> On 12.05.2008, at 18:57, RoMo wrote: >> >>>> Hello guys! >> >>>> First of all I don't know if I'm asking the right question, but >>>> i'll >>>> try to explain myself the best I can: >> >>>> I would like to know if in a view there is a way that after a >>>> "try:" >>>> and evaluate the expression as false, it justs ignores that query >>>> and >>>> display a message error, but keep loading everything else. >> >>>> For example: >> >>>> try: >>>> posts = Post.objects.get(Author=user) >>>> except Record.DoesNotExist: >>>> //Missing code Here// >> >>>> What I would like to do is: check if user has posted something, >>>> if he >>>> hasn't just displays a "you haven't posted anything yet" where the >>>> Post should be and it keeps loading everything else normally. >> >>> what about: >> >>> try: >>> posts = Post.objects.get(Author=user) >>> # btw get will raise an AssertionError if more than record >>> is found. >>> # i.e. if a user posted more than one post >>> except Record.DoesNotExist: >>> posts = None >> >>> return RequestContext(foo,bar, {'posts' : posts}) >> >>> and in your template: >> >>> {%if posts %} >>> display the posts >>> {% else %} >>> No haven't posted anything >>> {% endif %} >> >>> regards >>> adi >> >>> -- >>> Adi J.
