Hello, I'm new to Django, but learning as fast as I can. I would appreciate some technical help and some database design advice...
** 1) Admin pluralizing question So I have three models: samurai, item, inventory When I login to the admin screen it has chosen to pluralize them as: samurais, items, inventorys I'm a little bit anal, so this bothers me. Where can I change it to: samurai, items, inventories ? ** 2) Model relationships question Can someone validate that I am using the right relations for these? Users will login with a unique id and instantiate a samurai, each possessing various attributes (not shown below). Items have unique IDs but many samurai can have many of the same items (including duplicates)- also the items have a status as to the condition of the item. There is one inventory for each samurai which links his items to him. Based on this system, I believe I should do the following... Samurai model: AutoField ID (primary key, unique) Item model: AutoField ID (primary key, unique), ManyToMany(Samurai) Inventory: Foreignkey(Samurai), ManyToMany(Item) Did I do this right? ** And two design questions: 3) How should I implement duplicates of items for a single inventory? For example, one samurai may have two identical fish. Should I store this as an additional field in the inventory? If so, how do I link it to the item id? Is it cleaner/faster/better to use a dictionary? Actually, I've never heard of a dict in SQL. 4) How should I implement the status/condition of the items? For example, I want them to be "New", "Used", or "Broken/Unusable". Should I store this in the inventory or in a separate model called Status? If the latter, should I use a foreignkey(item) and OneToOne(Inventory) or something else? Thank you very much for your help. If you are aware of any tutorials or available source code for coding RPGs, browser games, or inventories, I will be happy to follow links and try to learn on my own. -Tim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
