I am learning django / python and I am stuck on an issue.
I have a view: create_document.py
in which I want to count the number of name details from a models class: NameDetails
.
I cannot get the correct syntax!
Here is my models.py
code:
class NameDetails(FillableModelWithLanguageVersion):
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
name_details_prefix_title = models.CharField(null=True, blank=True, max_length=25)
name_details_first_name = models.CharField(null=False, blank=False, max_length=50)
name_details_middle_name = models.CharField(null=True, blank=True, max_length=100)
....
Here is my create_document.py
code in which I have a django wizard. I want to make sure the user has more than 1 name before they can create a document:
from app_name.core.models import NameDetails
class CreateDocumentWizard(SessionWizardView):
template_name = 'documents/document_create.html'
form_list = [
core_forms.CreateDocumentWizardForm01,
core_forms.CreateDocumentWizardForm02,
core_forms.CreateDocumentWizardForm03,
core_forms.CreateDocumentWizardForm04,
]
def get_form_kwargs(self, step=None):
kwargs = super(CreateDocumentWizard, self).get_form_kwargs(step)
kwargs.setdefault('user', self.request.user)
return kwargs
def get_context_data(self, form, **kwargs):
name_details_count = NameDetails(user=self.request.user).count()
if name_details_count < 1:
return redirect(settings.MENU_DETAIL_LINK_NAME_DETAILS)
When I use the line to determine the count of NameDetails of the user: name_details_count = NameDetails(user=self.request.user).count()
, I get the following error:
NameDetails' object has no attribute 'count'
I have tried many permutations, but I am stuck.
It should be like that in your get_context_data function:
name_details_count = NameDetails.objects.filter(user=self.request.user).count()
