m2m

class User(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=100) age = models.IntegerField() gender = models.IntegerField() email = models.CharField(max_length=100) password = models.CharField(max_length=255) following = models.ManyToManyField("self", related_name='followers') objects = UserManager() def __repr__(self): return "User: {0}".format(self.name) In my model, User, users can follow and followed by each other. I can find who the user is following by this: user1 = User.objects.get(id=1) following = user1.following.all() However, I can't figure out how to find whom the user is followed

First I'll lay out what I'm trying to achieve in case there's a different way to go about it! I want to be able to edit both sides of an M2M relationship (preferably on the admin page although if needs be it could be on a normal page) using any of the multi select interfaces. The problem obviously comes with the reverse side, as the main side (where the relationship is defined) works just fine automagically. I have tried some of the advice here to get an inline to appear and that works but its not a very nice interface. The advice I got on the django mailing list was to use a custom ModelForm.

I'm experiencing a weird problem which I hope someone in here may be able to shed some light on. I'm overriding the save() method of a model to add some values to a ManyToMany-field after running super(). My problem is that when I'm saving in Django admin the values seems to get added to the relationship but is then empty again. If however I do it from manage.py shell it works without problem. I've put two print statements in there and they produce the exact same output regardless of if I'm running it via Django admin or via shell. class Store(models.Model): holidays = models.ManyToManyField

This is baffling me... When I save my model, the book objects are unchanged. But if I open the invoice and save it again, the changes are made. What am I doing wrong? class Invoice(models.Model): ... books = models.ManyToManyField(Book,blank=True,null=True) ... def save(self, *args, **kwargs): super(Invoice, self).save(*args, **kwargs) for book in self.books.all(): book.quantity -= 1 if book.quantity == 0: book.sold = True; book.save() Edit: I've tried using the post_save signal, but it works the same way. No changes on the first save, changes saved the second time. Update: Seems to be solved
