Question

Im working with django, building a web app. I have most stuff working. The general structure is I have a user tied to a list of elements. When I click on those elements, I get a 404 page not found error.

Heres some of models.py:

class Event(models.Model):
    #user that created the event

    #event title
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    #time created
    created = models.DateField('Date Created',auto_now_add=True)

    #description of event from user
    description = models.CharField(max_length=400)

    #address of event if existant
    address = models.CharField(max_length=50)

class User(models.Model):

    attending = models.ManyToManyField('Event', related_name='User_attending')
    hosting = models.ForeignKey('Event', related_name='User_hosting')

    gender = models.IntegerField(max_length=1)
    password = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    email = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    age = models.IntegerField()
    fName = models.CharField(max_length=25)
    lName = models.CharField(max_length=25)
    id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)

From views.py, when I try and access the html page attached to my "event" object, I get a 404 error because my code doesnt recognize "Event".

from list.models import *

def event(request, id):
     #e = Event()
     #code.interact(local = locals())
     try:
         e = Event.objects.get(User_hosting=id)
     except Event.DoesNotExist:
         raise Http404
     if e.user_id != request.user.id:
         raise Http404
     #code.interact(local = locals())
     return render_to_response('event/event.html', {'event':e})

When I use the shell, e = Event.objects.get(User_hosting=id) it says that "Event is not defined".

You have to import any modules or classes you want to use in the shell. Try this (where appname is the name of your app.

from appname.models import Event
