When you have a FK to park in your comment model, you automatically get a reference to a list of comments from the park model. E.g:
class Park(models.Model): #Park fields here, but no explicit relationship to Comment class Comment(models.Model): park = models.ForeignKey(Park) #other comment fields here def some_view(request, id): park = Park.objects.get(pk=id) comments = park.comment_set #this is a queryset of all comments associated with the part; it may be empty #etc... Or in a template: {% for comment in park.comment_set.all %} {{ comment.body }} {% endfor %} Does that make sense? Here are the official docs for this functionality: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/queries/#related-objects _Nik On May 13, 2012, at 7:03 PM, psychok7 wrote: > i think you are right :) , i can always get the parks associated comments if > i query comments model (im used to only doing it the other way around). gonna > try that out > > thanks > > On Monday, May 14, 2012 2:57:17 AM UTC+1, jondykeman wrote: > If all comment have to have a park and user. > > I would have a ForeignKey to Park and User in the Comments model, and no > Foreign key in the Parks model. > > As such a comment will always need to be linked to an existing park and user > object, but a park can be created without needing a comment. > > JD > > On Sunday, May 13, 2012 7:53:58 PM UTC-6, psychok7 wrote: > yes, like a park doesn't have to have comments, but all the comments must > have an associated park and user all the time. > > what is the django syntax for me to achieve this? > > On Monday, May 14, 2012 2:49:18 AM UTC+1, jondykeman wrote: > As far as I understand it the ForeignKey will have to be unique=True and > null=False. > > I want to get a better sense of what you are trying to achieve.
