I've got an ecommerce system I'm working on. I have a product model,
and a productattribute model tied to each product for flexibility -
such a wide variety of products can/will be sold that it wouldn't be
possible or practical to put them all on the product model. Where
this becomes a difficulty is on the generic view list of products - I
can't find a way to get to the attributes from a template. My first
thought was a method that would return whatever attribute I called for
(templates will be site specific, but each site focuses on different
kinds of products - so one site may have "brightness" as a primary
attribute, another "channels", etc.) but that won't work because of
keeping logic out of templates. I'm fine with that, so my next
thought was to build a dictionary of every attribute of a product and
reference that, but {{ object.attributes["brightness"] }} gets me a
"Could not parse the remainder" error.
The only two options I see left are a template tag of called like:
productattribute object "brightness" or add attributes for everything
to the product model (and that would simply be ridiculous, in my
opinion)
What's the solution I'm missing here? And/or how can I access
elements of a dictionary that is itself an attribute? That feels like
the holy grail solution to me.
Thanks,
Adam
