I'm looking for the right syntax for inside a template to display a
model variable that is actually not a field in the database (defined
by the mode), but a Model method.
Class Member(model.Models):
id = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True, db_column='ID')
lname = models.CharField(max_length=150, db_column='LName',
blank=True)
fname = models.CharField(max_length=150, db_column='FName',
blank=True)
.... (plus other fields)
def contactslistindirectory(self):
"""Returns a comma deliminted list of all member contacts
(with last contact prefixed by and)"""
s1=self.contacts.all().filter(indirectory=True)
s=list2text(s1)
return s
The model method "contactslistindirectory() returns a string of the
name of the contacts for that member. It's getting that information
from another model called Contact which has a ForeignKey connection
back to Member.
I have a template working that can display {{ member.lname }},
{{member.fname }} and others. The template loops through all
members.
I want to display in the template for each member the value of what is
in contactslistindirectory. I've tried
{{ member.contactslistindirectory }} and that doesn't work. I don't
know the syntax for displaying the value of a Model Method in a
template. I'm sure the answer is right in front of me, but despite
searching the documentation for examples, I can't spot it. I can see
how the model methods are defined, but as yet have not seen how to use
that in a template.
Any pointers?
