How can I display entries of a M2M field from a Model which I passed as a dictionary to the template with template tags?

empedokles78: either related_name if defined, or if the name fis for eg names, then names_set

hmm or names.all

hmm or names_set.all :D

fikka, do I need to get and pass these as a seperate data dictionary to the template?

(in my views)

empedokles78: no, the main entity has them when you generate the template

empedokles78: dicts don't play well with templates, unless you already know all the keys

FunkyBob: I thikn he meant passig in model entity in a dict like {'main': main_obj}?

ah

and so then in the templates it should be {% for name in main.names_set.all %}

fikka: when you say entity, do you mean instance?

FunkyBob: yes

yes, that would be how I'd iterat the m2m in the template

Actually it's not m2m in my case, I got this: https://dpaste.de/C8D8 (I might try it with that for loop)

what is eg names?

empedokles78: you have to iterate over {{ org.companies }}

or provide a model method that does that for you

ok so it can be like {% for comp in org.companies %} {{ comp.name }} {% endfor %}

org.companies.all

yeah.

it's still a to-many relation

Thanks, that works. Why is .all needed?

because .companies returns a Manager, and .all (and most other manager methods) yield a queryset

empedokles78: yes, its like .objects, but for relations (RelatedManager)

How would a solution over a model method look like? What is to prefer?

empedokles78: I guess it depends on how many times you want to reuse this behavior, so that you dont need to do all the for looping in the template.

empedokles78: you can define a method on the model class that returns the list of names

I see, so this list then would be passed with the model instance to the template?

empedokles78: https://dpaste.de/ynzU

something like this

so the model does the for looping and you have a nice uniform way of representing the company names in each place you want to

fikka, interesting, but I need to include a link to their pk in the template with {% url tag %}.

hello ppl i download css tampelas but its dont read the fonts what the problem ?

show code. I'd guess you opened your script tag with ' but closed it with ", maybe?

no its ok....its big tampeles and i dont know what show you ....if the problem in html or js ?

kezabelle:

ran8888: Where your bootstrap files are actually located?

ran8888: and how you load for example bootstrap.js in your template? Can you paste that part?

jtiai: in static folder

the css its read

ran8888: Well your template has something broken. Without seeing hard to tell anything beyond what kezabelle said.

ran8888: So somewhere in your template you have something like <script href="{% static "js/bootsrap.js" %}" ></script> (or close to it) most probably you're missing closing quote.

jtiai: i cheack all....
