Question

So I have the standard django tutorial polls app and I made a little blog app. Is there a simple way to add a poll to some of the blog posts but not all.

I’ve found this:

from django.models.polls import polls
from django.models.blogs import posts

def my_view(request):
        return render_to_response("template_name", {
                "poll_list" : polls.get_list(),
                "post_list" : posts.get_list(),
        }

But how do I pick which poll I want in the template and if I add it to the template won’t it show up in every post? I feel like im seriously over-thinking or under-thinking this. Any advice or links would be appreciated. Thanks.

models.py #for the blog app
class Post(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=60)
    description = models.TextField()
    body = models.TextField()
    created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

    def display_mySafeField(self):
        return mark_safe(self.body)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.title

views.py # for blog class
def post(request, pk):
    """Single post with comments and a comment form."""
    post = Post.objects.get(pk=int  (pk))
    comments = Comment.objects.filter(post=post)
    d = dict(post=post, comments=comments, form=CommentForm(), user=request.user,
             months=mkmonth_lst())
    d.update(csrf(request))
    return render_to_response("post.html", d)

I want to add a poll to a post but not all of them.

Answer 1

Add something which will indicate which poll is associated to which model. You can use ForeignKey, ManyToManyField, GenericForeignKey, OneToOneField, etc and then use that indicator to get poll/s associated to post/s .
