This would have been a whole lot easier to debug if you would have posted the entire traceback, rather than a vague reference to IndexError. Tracebacks give a whole load of information, and they do so for a reason - to make debugging simple. In any case, the latest code at least shows where you are getting 'lor'. In this case, lor is a queryset - that is, a list-like collection of model instances. Each Recommendation in the queryset has 'rating_recommendation' properties, but the whole queryset doesn't have one, hence the error. The [:1] at the end slices the queryset to contain a single instance, but it's still a queryset rather than an instance. If you just want a single instance, use [0] at the end rather than [: 1]. -- DR -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
