Django beginner question
Hi I am a Django beginner and I am just getting into creating apps with it, my goal was to create a simple order application for practice. The app will be somewhat like this: 1.A user will login or create an account. 2.A user will order from a list of items and depending on the item it may have size and/or type, some will have preset sizes and no type at all. 3. Upon purchase which for this demo will not have a monetary system integrated, so as a replacement it will email the admin email with the details and also display the order to them for printing once they are finished. 4. The user will be able to check his/her orders in which the admin will be able to set to pending or shipped to each order 5. The admin will also be able to view all orders from every user and delete, edit, mark the details of the order. Pretty straightforward I thought but I can't seem to wrap my head around the models mostly and especially the product table. For the products would I be creating an array of different orders and a separate array of sizes in the controller and assigning that to the form? My 3 classes in my model are currently Users, Products, Orders I am not sure how a order from the products is assigned to a user in the database, does the Users class need to have both products and orders inside of it as a one to many for both? So when I create the form that submits this information how does it assign that order to that product to that user? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: Django beginner question
Thank you Shawn, Thank you for your response, I was trying to explain it in detail, I believe I get the greater whole of the project which I've specified by explaining the project but the parts I don't I've asked a question about. Maybe my approach is incorrect, I did not mean that my informative parts were suppose to be answered but again merely a poke at trying not to be short, but thank you, I will read the Prepare the question section and see if I can recreate my collection of queries in a refined way in which I hope you and everyone else would consider "industrious" and possibly feel the ability to help rather than to lecture. Cheers.

Re: Django beginner question
Hi and thank you so much, this provided a ton of clarity, especially the modelling of the order table with a foreign key to a user, I was locked on thinking the user table needed to somehow have the orders within it. But I see I needed to step back. I've already started to implement all of this and I am trying to understand the additional table, if the Order table already contains the user it belongs to, then what will the additional table be set for, from my perspective would this be to keep the original order? Thanks so much again.

Re: Admin Site appending letter "s" to end of each model\table name
I believe you can use : def __unicode__(self) return 'Name you'd like without the s' for each model and this will be used instead.
