Django foreign key relation in template

by

If you review the foreign key documentation, if you have a relationship like

Doc -> has many DocImages

you need to define your foreign key on the DocImages class like so:

class DocImage(models.Model):
    property = models.ForeignKey(Doc, related_name="images")

If you don’t set related names, you can access the DocImages from the Doc like:

Doc.docimage_set.all()

Docs on Related Objects

But setting related_name in the property field lets you do

Doc.images.all()

Just make sure whatever you pass to the template in the view context matches what is used in the template, e.g.

# in the view
return render_to_response('mytemplate.html', { 'mydoc' : doc, 'mydocimage' : img }

This can then be used in the template as follows:

# and in your template to get the images attached to the document
{% for i in mydoc.images.all %}
    ...
{% endfor %}

# or to get the document the image belongs to
{{ mydocimage.property.date_added }}
