When passing a QuerySet of objects which inherit part of their model
from another class, generic views only seems to respond to the parent
class:
Here's a simplified example:
class ParentClass(models.Model):
name_last = models.CharField(max_length=64)
name_first = models.CharField(max_length=64)
class ChildClass(ParentClass):
likes_spam = BooleanField(default=False)
Then, in the urls.py, I pass:
{
"queryset": ChildClass.objects.all()
....
}
Without specifying the template, generic views looks for
"parentclass_list.html", not "childclass_list.html". After specifying
which template to use, the ChildClass attributes are available via the
1:1 relationship so {{ object.childclass.likes_spam }} will retrieve
the desired attribute.
Where I've been caught with this is I'm inheriting from a generic
application that is not in my project directory. So not only was
django looking for parentclass_list.html and paentclass_detial.html,
it was looking for base_app/parentclass.html, etc.
I expected it to look in derived_app/childclass_list.html, etc.
Is this how this _should_ work, or should I post this to the developer
list and see what shakes?
Thanks,
Scott
