Question

I keep getting this error when I go to the development server that the ‘Tag’ object has no attribute ‘count’. I don’t understand why the error comes up in line 117 when tag.count didn’t generate any errors when used in the previous lines of code? Thanks!

Here’s the error message:

The code it refers back to is this:

def tag_cloud_page(request):
    MAX_WEIGHT = 5
    tags = Tag.objects.order_by('name')
    # Calculate tag min and max counts
    min_count = max_count = tags[0].bookmarks.count()
    for tag in tags:
        tag.count = tag.bookmarks.count()
        if tag.count < min_count:
            min_count = tag.count
        if max_count < tag.count:
            max_count = tag.count
        #calculate count range. Avoid dividing by zero.
        range = float(max_count - min_count)
        if range == 0.0:
            range = 1.0
        # Calculate tag weights.
        for tag in tags:
            tag.weight = int(
                MAX_WEIGHT * (tag.count - min_count) / range #line 117
            )
        variables = RequestContext(request, {
            'tags': tags
        })
        return render_to_response('tag_cloud_page.html', variables)

Answer 1

You iterate over tags twice with the same keyword tag. Turn your second for loop into something like this:

for related_tag in tags:

Also, you need to change tag.weight = ... in that second loop, so that it refers to the correct tag and related_tag instances.
