haha, yep, thanks Sal. For those wondering, that hate stackoverflow/links,
the problem (it seems) was that my custom function wasn't converting the
value to a str. This seems to work
class Comment(db.Model):
series = db.ReferenceProperty(reference_class=Series);
def series_id(self):
return str(self._series.id())
in the template:
<a href="games/view-series.html?series={{comment.series_id}}#comm{{
comment.key.id}}">more</a>
This seems to get me the id without hitting the database. If this is
*wrong*, PLEASE let me know :)
Thanks all!
