UPDATE : All I am trying to do is get the list of objects

  • 0

UPDATE:

All I am trying to do is get the list of objects based on their voting score and send it to the template. If you have used django-voting before please help me figure this one out. I need a list because I pass that list to the paginator app.

Should I ask a different question (and maybe close this one)?

I am trying to get all the objects in order of the score they have, append them to a list and send it across to the template but I am getting errors. Can you please show me a quick to retrieve my objects in order of their voting score?

get_top() method is from django-voting app managers: link the method on github:

https://github.com/brosner/django-voting/blob/master/voting/managers.py#L122

I am getting all comments in my View as:

comments_all = Vote.objects.get_top(Comment, 100, False) 

"""URL param is latest, then sort by datetime
else sort by vote count, default"""
if sort == 'latest':
    comments_all = Comment.objects.filter(book=book_id, active=True)\
    .order_by('-created_datetime', '-modified_datetime')
else:
    comments_all = Vote.objects.get_top(Comment, 100, False)

"""Pagination: if there is no page, set it to 1"""
comments_paginator = Paginator(comments_all, 20)
try:
    page = int(request.GET.get('page', '1'))
except ValueError:
    page = 1

#pagination: get the pages.
try:
    comments_page = comments_paginator.page(page)
except (EmptyPage, InvalidPage):
    comments_page = comments_paginator.page(comments_paginator.num_pages)

UPDATE: I tried to do:

comments_all = list(Vote.objects.get_top(Comment, 100, False))

but it gives error:

int() argument must be a string or a number, not 'tuple'

    “Django’s database aggregation API doesn’t work with a GenericRelation. For example, you might be tempted to try something like”

    You can use
    https://github.com/coleifer/django-generic-aggregation

    from django.contrib.comments.models import Comment
from django.db.models import Sum
from generic_aggregation import generic_annotate
from voting.models import Vote

#want might to filter on is_public and is_removed
top = generic_annotate(Comment.objects.all(), Vote.object, Sum('vote')).filter(active=True)
