Question

I have a three ‘layers’ deep model, that i’s like to access through my template:

Models:

class Match(models.Model):

    pl1 = models.IntegerField(default=0)
    pl2 = models.IntegerField(default=0)
    boards = models.ManyToManyField(Scoreboard)
    active = models.IntegerField(default=1)
    turn = models.IntegerField(default=0)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return "Match " + str(self.id)

---

class Scoreboard(models.Model):

    user = models.ForeignKey(User)

---

I’m just guessing, but to get the names of the users connected to each ‘Match’, shouldn’t it be something like this:

{% for active in matches %}
{{active}} - {{active.boards.user}}<br>
{% endfor %}

Answer 1

boards is the ManyToMany, so there are many scoreboards to each match. So, you need to iterate through them.

{% for active in matches %}
  {{ active }}:
  {% for board in active.boards.all %}
      {{ board.user }}
  {% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
