It's clear now that __str__(self) or __unicode__
return a usable string to the view.
But this does not on the surface appear to be a
workable instance of the model itself,
that would return fields that I can work with in the template...and/or
i haven't figured how to get a handle on it.
ie...
to list titles by Stevenson and checkbox titles to be borrowed.
...which in the browser I'd hope would present something like
_______________________________________________________
...
[ ] Stevenson Collected Works
[ ] Stevenson Treasure Island
[ ] Stevenson Wild West Stories
...
[Submit]
here is the code i'm trying...
______________________________________________________
# models.py
class Titles(models.Model):
author = models.CharField(max_length=100)
title = models.CharField(max_length=254)
select = models.BooleanField()
def __unicode__(self):
return u'%s = %s' % (self.author, self.title)
________________________________________________________
# views.py
def checkout_book_view(request)
from books.models import Titles
titles_list =Titles.objects.filter(author="Stevenson")
template_Name='checkoutbook.htm'
template_Context = Context( { 'titles_list': titles_list })
return render_to_response(template_Name,template_Context)
________________________________________________________
# then in template checkoutbook.html list as
{% for titles_list in titles_list %}
{{ title.select }}
{{ title.author }}
{{ title.title }}
{% endfor %}
with unicode though all i'm able to get is the single string defined
by def ___unicode___ and no check box. i'm suprised
that the query set or list is not able to store more fields.
