Question

i’m poor with django.

i have a project and project has an app

in my app, i have a models.py and includes

from django.db import models
from taggit.managers import TaggableManager

class Post(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    body = models.TextField()
    created = models.DateTimeField()
    tags = TaggableManager()    


    def __unicode__(self):
     return self.title

and i also add this models.py

posts = Post.objects.all().order_by(“-created”)[:2]

Is it the right way to keep it here?

Some examples shows that queries in models.py some are in views.py ?

Also can i use posts in my mysite/templates ?

Answer 1

The best way to do this is to create a custom manager with a method that performs the query when called. That way you don’t need to worry about it being cached, recycled, etc.
