Re: Custom attributes in Django

Hi Sebastian,

I suppose you are trying to do something like this?

class CustomAttributes(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
value = models.CharField(max_length=50)

class ObjectWithCustom(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
attributes = models.ManyToManyField(CustomAttributes)

new_attr = o.attributes.create(name='custom_attr', value='value')

ObjectWithCustom.objects.filter(attributes__value='value')

For more info about many-to-many check out docs:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/models/many_to_many/
Maybe describe in some detail what you are trying to accomplish (in
terms of resulting functionality), as this might not necessarily be
the best way to do it.

Cheers,

Béres Botond
