I have a Project model with a foreign key to institution. I want to do a Q(institution_icontains)=queryr on the institution field in the institution table, but the filter needs to go through the Projects model. I need all institutions associated with a Project.
class Project(models.Model): restitle = models.TextField(null=True, blank=True) institution = models.ForeignKey(Institution, null=True, blank=True) contact = models.ForeignKey(Contact, null=True, blank=True) def __unicode__(self): return self.restitle class Meta: ordering = ["restitle"] class Institution(models.Model): institution = models.TextField(null=True, blank=True) def __unicode__(self): return self.institution class Meta: ordering = ["institution"] def projects(request): queryr = request.GET.get('qr', '') if queryr: qset = ( Q(projecttitle__icontains=queryr) ) resultsr = Project.objects.filter(qset).distinct() # original qset2 = ( Q(institution__icontains=queryr) ) resultsi = Institution.objects.filter(qset2).distinct() else: resultsr = [] resultsi = [] return render_to_response("search/search.html", { "queryr": queryr, "resultsr": resultsr, "resultsi": resultsi, This statement gives me an error, because institution is not in Project, but the institution_id. qset = ( Q(projecttitle__icontains=queryr) | Q(institution__icontains=queryr) ) This statement selects results from both models (projects and institutions), but institution is independent of the Projects. qset = ( Q(projecttitle__icontains=queryr) ) resultsr = Project.objects.filter(qset).distinct() # original qset2 = ( Q(institution__icontains=queryr) ) resultsi = Institution.objects.filter(qset2).distinct() Can anyone please help me with the syntax? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
