Question

I have 2 models in my Django app that have a many-to-many relationship. How do I display each of the categories that a product will have? What do I include in the view and template?

class Product(models.Model):
    website = models.CharField('Product name', max_length = 200)
    mutliple_cat = models.ManyToManyField(Multicat, null=True, blank=True)
    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.website

class Multicat(models.Model):
    mutlicat = models.CharField('Multi cat', max_length = 200, null=True, blank=True)
    mutlicat_url = models.CharField('Multi cat url', max_length = 200, null=True, blank=True)
    def __unicode__(self):
        return unicode(self.mutlicat)

This is what I have in my view:

product = Product.objects.order_by("website")

Template:

{% for prod in product %}
    {% for cat in prod.multiple_cat.all %}
            {{ cat.multicat }}
    {% endfor %}
{% endfor %} 

Answer 1

Assuming you’re passing a Product in a variable named my_product to the template:

{% for cat in my_product.multiple_cat.all %}
    multicat name: {{ cat.multicat }}
    multicat url: {{ cat.multicat_url }}
{% endfor %}
