Django 1.1 rev 11018
stores = ReleaseStoreLink.objects.filter(release=self) \
.select_related('store','store__contact') \
.only('url','store__name','store__contact__url')
ss = stores[0]
ReleaseStoreLink has a method logo, it is not a db field
when using this object in a template I call {{ ss.logo }} on it
this does not call the method logo() as usually happens in a template,
it throws this error
*** TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, long found
which is the same error I get if trying to access ss.logo in a shell:
(Pdb) ss.logo
*** TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, long found
this is what I wanted:
(Pdb) ss.logo()
<ImageFieldFile: http://www.boomkat.com/>
in a similar fashion, I expect that since release ( a foreign key ) is
deferred, it should at this point fetch the release when accessed
but instead it returns the id
(Pdb) ss.release
67L
am I misunderstanding, shouldn't it now go fetch the (fk) release ?
this is what the ss object really is:
(Pdb) ss.__class__
<class 'music.models.ReleaseStoreLink_Deferred_release'>
thanks to anyone who has been through this. I can't find much online yet.
