Complete the tutorial na.

i was banned brothers but now am back.

Now go into views.py and create your first view with this code


from .models import Post
from django.shortcuts import render,redirect

def index(request):
---- posts = Post.objects.all().order('-dateadded') # Order by the latest one created
---- return render(request,'blog/index.html',{'posts':post})

then create a file called urls.py and write the following code to it.

from . import views # Imports all the view created by you in the views.py file
from django.conf.urls import url

urlpatterns = [
----- url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'), # the first arguement is a regex pattern which django uses to route your links, the function imported tells django were to look for it, name is going to be used in your template to route from one page to another.
]

Okay... Great to be back.

inside the website folder
website
|
|---- settings.py
|---- urls.py
|---- wsgi.py

go to the urls.py file and add the following code
from django.conf.urls import url,include

urlpatterns = [
----------- url(r'^',include('blog.urls',namespace='blog')),
]


The empty url means that it should load the page first without any title(www.example.com instead of www.example.com/blog) , include means that it should go to the blog > urls.py file and include it in the routing process, the namespace means ......

Good to have you back olamil34
Thanks 4kings for reaching out to me.

Hmm, i can see another comment deleted up there.
Looks like olamil34 has been banned again.
If it's spambot send a mail to the supermod.

Please guys I need some help as soon as possible.

I am trying to reference to models using ForeignKey.

I have three models; user, topic and comment as examples.
User model will have username field and other related fields.
Topic will have user, title, detail, comment, comment_maker and maybe other fields. While,
Comment model will have user, comment and some other fields.

Can I use models.ForeignKey to link user, comment_maker of Topic model to User model and comment field of Topic model to Comment model?

i.e can I use models.ForeignKey more than once in one model?

Ex Topic Model:
class Topic(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User, ...)
comment = models.ForeignKey(Comment, ...)
comment_maker = models.ForeignKey(User, ...)


I don't understand how OneToMany and ManyToMany fields work yet.

first this is a correction to the following model

class Topic(models.Model):
---user = models.ForeignKey(User, ...)
---title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
---content = models.TextField()
---dateadded = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True,blank=True,null=True)

---def __str__(self):
------return self.title

class Comment(models.Model):
---user = models.ForeignKey(User, ...)
---topic_rel = models.ForeignKey(Topic)
---content = models.TextField()
---dateadded = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True,blank=True,null=True)

---def __str__(self):
------return self.content

I was able to get it working using "related_name" of ForeignKey argument as was mentioned in stackoverflow link posted by 4kings.

---

Am yet to test this code but I must say the design logic looks better and more promising.
Will makemigrations command not show errors at those two ForeignKeys? If it should work, could it be because the ForeignKeys references different models?

olamil34:

No you should not do dat
please don't do that.

Am seeing this rather late.
Please why do you advice against such?

greatface:

it will might work, but it will be very painful for to make changes because misstep could the the end the entire database

olamil34:

Yea, you're correct. The migration passed but adding to any of the fields was almost impossible because the models inter reference each other through foreignkey which I never permitted null values.

I later redesigned the models and am good now as I continue to learn.

sup peps, here is source code to the first version of quickfinda(python, django,), it's quite simple code. you can download it at github

Enjoy

i recommend you read http://www.ebook-dl.com/book/263 (python for kids) it's actually the first python book i used,
and then python crash http://www.ebook-dl.com/book/1636, extremely powerful and simple book.


with these books, you will be creating somthing amazing within 1-2weeks.
