Hello
I've been using Django for a week. Really liking its flexibility.
I'm using it to create a CMS for an ActionScript 3 app. The Flash
will read an XML file outputed from Django and maintained through the
admin interface. It's all working well but I have a problem
structuring the XML output in my view/template. Have gone through
docs but can't figure this out.
The view is as follows:
import django.http as http
import django.shortcuts as shortcuts
import models
def xml(request):
# References to Model
categories = models.Category.objects.order_by('name')
clients = models.Client.objects.order_by('name')
items = models.Item.objects.order_by('name')
return shortcuts.render_to_response("/home/benmarinic/webapps/
django/portfolio/templates/portms/data.xml",
dict(categories=categories, clients=clients, items=items))
//********************************//
The template is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<categories>
{% for category in categories %}
<category>
<title><![CDATA[{{category.name}}]]></title>
<clients>
{% for client in clients %}
<client>
<title><!
[CDATA[{{client.name}}]]></title>
</client>
{% endfor %}
</clients>
</category>
{% endfor %}
</categories>
</xml>
The XML is currently outputing the same client list for all
categories. But this is bot setup that way in the admin tool - I have
ForeignKey and it's all working fine in admin. I have some clients in
certain categories and not in others. I can't get my head around
modifying the template and or the view to output only the client in
the given category. The XML should read something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<categories>
<category>
<title><![CDATA[Category 1]]></title>
<clients>
<client>
<title><![CDATA[Client 1]]></title>
</client>
<client>
<title><![CDATA[Client 2]]></title>
</client>
</clients>
</category>
<category>
<title><![CDATA[Category 2]]></title>
<clients>
<client>
<title><![CDATA[Client 4]]></title>
</client>
<client>
<title><![CDATA[Client 5]]></title>
</client>
</clients>
</category>
</categories>
</xml>
Thanks
Ben
