I am trying to create a project for creating feeds/activity feeds of a user with the help of a blog.
These are the models -
When I create a blog or upload a photo, the `signal` does not work. But I can manually add items to the `StreamItem` app using the admin, and the StreamItem does work as I want it to be. I think there's problem with the signals.py. Please help me out. Would be much appreciate. Thank you.
-- These are the models -
class StreamItem(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType)
object_id = models.PositiveIntegerField()
pub_date = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.now)
content_object = generic.GenericForeignKey('content_type', 'object_id')
@property
def content_class(self):
return self.content_type.model
class Blog(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
title = models.CharField(max_length=300)
body = models.TextField()
pub_date = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.now)
class Photo(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
image = models.ImageField(upload_to=get_upload_file_name)
pub_date = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.now)
And this is the signals.py:
from django.db.models import signals
from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType
from django.dispatch import dispatcher
from blogs.models import Blog
from picture.models import Photo
from models import StreamItem
def create_stream_item(sender, instance, signal, *args, **kwargs):
# Check to see if the object was just created for the first time
if 'created' in kwargs:
if kwargs['created']:
create = True
# Get the instance's content type
ctype = ContentType.object.get_for_model(instance)
if create:
si = StreamItem.objects.get_or_create(content_type=ctype, object_id=instance.id, pub_date = instance.pub_date)
# Send a signal on post_save for each of these models
for modelname in [Blog, Photo]:
dispatcher.connect(create_stream_item, signal=signals.post_save, sender=modelname)
When I create a blog or upload a photo, the `signal` does not work. But I can manually add items to the `StreamItem` app using the admin, and the StreamItem does work as I want it to be. I think there's problem with the signals.py. Please help me out. Would be much appreciate. Thank you.
