I'm playing with GeoDjango and have some doubts. I'll really appreciate any comment and suggestion.
This is my problem. First, I've defined this (abstract) class:
from django.contrib.gis.db import models
from django.contrib.gis.geos import *
class LocatableModel(models.Model):
country = models.CharField(max_length=48, blank=True)
country_code = models.CharField(max_length=2, blank=True)
locality = models.CharField(max_length=48, blank=True)
sub_locality = models.CharField(max_length=48, blank=True)
street = models.CharField(max_length=48, blank=True)
address = models.CharField(max_length=120, blank=True)
point = models.PointField(null=True)
objects = models.GeoManager()
class Meta:
abstract = True
Second, I've defined this other 'Entity' class, which
represents a person or organization related to my site:
from django.db import models
class Entity(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=64)
slug = models.SlugField(max_length=64, unique=True)
website = models.URLField(verify_exists=False, blank=True)
email = models.EmailField(blank=True)
...
Finally, I've created a class from the previous ones:
import LocatableModel
import Entity
class Organization(Entity, LocatableModel):
timetable = models.CharField(max_length=64)
...
In my views, I'd like to find organizations near a specific point:
from django.contrib.gis.geos import Point
from django.contrib.gis.measure import D
def index(request):
pnt = Point(12.4604, 43.9420)
dic = { 'orgs': Organization.objects.filter(point__distance__lte=(pnt, D(km=7))) }
return render_to_response('index.html', dic)
But I receive the error:
"Join on field 'point' not permitted. Did you misspell 'distance' for
the lookup type?"
I think I'm doing a mess with the model 'objects' property, but I'm not sure. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
This error has been seen before, and claimed to be solved in this ticket 3 years ago:
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/9364
When I ran into this same problem, I noticed in the ticket that the query manager was set explicitly to GeoManager in the inherited model(s). So adding a line like,
class Organization(Entity, LocatableModel):
timetable = models.CharField(max_length=64)
...
objects = models.GeoManager()
...may solve the issue you're seeing, it worked for me.

This question or many like it has been asked multiple times but for some reason I am unable to find the answer.
I do have this working to an extent in the way that if you go on the api pages, it renders, creates and updates without problem. The issue is displaying a field (title) from the nested object instead of just the primary key on the front end.
Some background before getting into the code:
Races is a finite list (e.g. Race1, Race2, Race3) and the front end does not have the ability to add more.
Cards is not finite, but each card must link to an existing Race (this currently does so by Primary Key).
The front end should display the card_text and race title of the linked race.
It also has the ability to add a new card but this works fine.
I have had this working with separate serializers for read and create/update where the read has a 'depth = 1' to pull through the entire object but the create/update doesn't and you then parse the object and send the primary key back (I couldn't find a way of doing this in the serializer, is it possible?).
So basically my question is, are you meant to pass the entire object through and parse it on a POST method, or do you pass the primary key and pull in the linked objects (Races) and use the primary key as an index (e.g. Races[card_race]). Also, why is 'linked_race' not coming through to the front end?
I realise I've almost answered my own question but as I'm new to Django I'm looking for the correct conventions and who knows, it may save someone else time when searching for the same answer.

Your first "problem" is with the Card model (I say problem because I don't think you intended to do this). You're defining related_name='linked_race' for the card_race field. This related_name is the name you use to refer to a card FROM a race.
I would suggest you leave it out and use the default that Django already gives us (i.e. my_race.card_set.all() in this case). So change change that field in the Card model to:
class Card(models.Model):
...
card_race = models.ForeignKey(Race, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
...
And let's change the card serializer to:
class CardSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
# no more linked_race
class Meta:
model = Card
fields = ('id', 'card_text', 'card_description', 'card_race')
Alright, this is a vary basic model serializer and you won't see details of a race yet. So now let's get to your main problem which was that you wanted to:
see the details of the associated race of a card
perform create/get/update/delete operations using the same serializer
For this, let's further change the CardSerializer to include another field called race_detail:
class CardSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
race_detail = RaceSerializer(source='card_race', read_only=True)
class Meta:
model = Card
fields = ('id', 'card_text', 'card_description', 'card_race', 'race_detail')
We have defined two serializer fields for the same model field. Note the source and read_only attributes. This makes this field available when you GET a card (which is what we want), but not when you're performing POSTs or PUTs (which avoids the problem of sending the whole race object and parsing and stuff). You can just send the race id for the card_race field and it should work.
After going through several stackoverflows I still have yet to find something that solves this. I'm hoping it's just syntax as I'm a novice.
Admin:
from django.contrib import admin
from team_editor.models import Player, Team, TeamMembers
class PlayerInline(admin.StackedInline):
model = Player
class TMAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
inlines = (PlayerInline,)
# Register your models here.
admin.site.register(Team)
admin.site.register(Player)
admin.site.register(TeamMembers, TMAdmin)
Models:
class Player(models.Model):
firstName = models.CharField(max_length=30)
lastName = models.CharField(max_length=30)
class Team(models.Model):
teamName = models.CharField(max_length=30, unique=True)
class TeamMembers(models.Model):
team = models.ForeignKey(Team)
player = models.ForeignKey(Player, unique=True)
Error: class has no foreign key to class
I am using this setup since I want to view players on a team easily and change teams from one team to another (never on multiple)
Moved to many to many relation in team and dropped teammember table:
players = models.ManyToManyField(Player, blank=True, null=True)
Django noob questions:
I want to create a site which allows users to share info about cars. Each car should have a collection of images, and the submitter should select one of the images to be used to represent the car on a listing page. A basic set of models is shown below:
class Manufacturer(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
class ModelBrand(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
class Car(models.Model):
created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, editable=False)
updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True, editable=False)
# identifying information
manufacturer = models.ForeignKey(Manufacturer)
model_brand = models.ForeignKey(ModelBrand)
model_year = models.PositiveIntegerField()
class CarImage(models.Model):
created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, editable=False)
updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True, editable=False)
car = models.ForeignKey(Car, related_name='images')
source_url = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True)
image = ImageField(upload_to='cars')
But how do I model the selected image? Do I put a 'selected' BooleanField on the CarImage class? And how do I configure the Car and CarImage admin classes to allow an admin site user to select and image for a car from its 'images' collection?
First, I would like to suggest you to refactor your class using an auxiliary TimeStampedClass
class TimeStampedModel(models.Model):
"""
Abstract class model that saves timestamp of creation and updating of a model.
Each model used in the project has to subclass this class.
"""
created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, editable=False)
updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True, editable=False)
class Meta:
abstract = True
ordering = ('-created_on',)
So you can use this class over your project, subclassing it.
One simple solution for your question is attach your image gallery to your car, and create one attribute that is a IntegerField that stores the picture position in the image gallery:
...
class CarImage(TimeStampedField):
source_url = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True)
image = ImageField(upload_to='cars')
class Car(TimeStampedModel):
image_gallery = models.ManyToManyField(CarImage)
selected_picture = models.IntegerField(default=0)
# identifying information
manufacturer = models.ForeignKey(Manufacturer)
model_brand = models.ForeignKey(ModelBrand)
model_year = models.PositiveIntegerField()
So, if selected_picture is n, you just need to get n-th picture inside image_gallery
Welcome,
I have some problem with limiting choices related with ForeignKey. Below I'm attaching fragment of my code (models.py):
class Car(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
....
class Driver(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
car = models.ForeignKey(Car)
....
class CarForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Car
class DriverForm(ModelForm):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super (DriverForm,self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fileds['car'].queryset = Car.objects.filter(???_1_???)
class Meta:
model = Driver
Could anybody give me some advices how should be defined ???1??? to restrict available Car objects only to these which aren't assign to any Driver?
First of all, you may want to consider changing the relationship between Car and Driver to a OneToOneField rather than a ForeignKey if each Car can always only have a single Driver.
However, if you just want to restrict the choices in the form, your queryset needs to be something like:
from django.db.models import Count
self.fields['car'].queryset = Car.objects.annotate(num_drivers=Count('driver')).filter(num_drivers=0)
I get really confused with many-to-many database relationships, so can some one please clarify how I would achieve this?
I need a table of "Tags" (as in tag words) and a table for "Entries", such at many "Entries" could correspond to many Tag words.
Right now I have my models like this:
# models.py
class Tags(models.Model):
tag = models.CharField(max_length=255)
entry = models.ManyToManyField(Entry)
class Entry(models.Model):
entry = models.CharField(max_length=255)
description = models.TextField()
Now I'm confused, how would I setup my admin.py so I could then add tags when I create a new entry?
What you need is using the through feature of models:
class Tag(models.Model):
tag = models.CharField(max_length=255)
entry = models.ManyToManyField(Entry, through='TaggedEntries')
class Entry(models.Model):
entry = models.CharField(max_length=255)
description = models.TextField()
class TaggedEntries(models.Model):
entry = models.ForeignKey(Entry)
tag = models.ForeignKey(Tag)
and now use that model in your admin:
class TagsInline(admin.TabularInline):
model = TaggedEntries
extra = 1
class EntryAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
inlines = (TagsInline, )
admin.site.register(Entry, EntryAdmin)
admin.site.register(Tag)
You will need something along the lines of:
# admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from models import *
class TagsInline(admin.TabularInline):
model = Tag
extra = 1
class EntryAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
inlines = (TagsInline, )
admin.site.register(Entry, EntryAdmin)
admin.site.register(Tag)
