Django: show a ManyToManyField in a template?

Question

I\'ve got these models in my Django project:

class Area(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100, primary_key=True)
    def __unicode__(self         


        

Answer 1

What does your view code look like?
Here's one way you can return the related models:

from myapp.models import Area, Place

def detail(request, place_id):
    place = Place.objects.get(pk=place_id)
    areas = place.area.all()

    return render_to_response('detail.html', {
        "place": place,
        "areas": areas,
    })

This example is just for illustration; you'd want to include error-handling code.
Your template might look something like this:

{{ place }}

{% if areas %}
  

  {% for area in areas %}
    
{{ area.name }}
  {% endfor %}
  
{% endif %}
