Is there a more "Python/Django" way to query/filter objects by generic foreign key? I'm trying to get all FullCitation objects for a particular software, where is_primary is True.
I know I can't do this but I want to do something like this:
ct_supported = ContentType.objects.get(app_label="supportedprogram", model="software")
primary_citations = FullCitation.objects.filter(content_type__name=ct_supported, object_id__in='', is_primary=True)
models.py
class FullCitation(models.Model)
# the software to which this citation belongs
# either a supported software program or a non-supported software program
limit = models.Q(app_label = 'myprograms', model = 'supportedprogram') | models.Q(app_label = 'myprograms', model = 'nonsupportedprogram')
content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType), limit_choices_to = limit, )
object_id = models.PositiveIntegerField()
content_object = generic.GenericForeignKey('content_type', 'object_id')
is_primary = models.BooleanField(help_text="Is this the Primary Citation for the software program?")
class NonSupportedProgram(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=256, blank = True)
full_citation = generic.GenericRelation('FullCitation')
class SupportedProgram(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=256, blank = True)
full_citation = generic.GenericRelation('FullCitation')
# and a bunch of other fields.....
views.py # My current attempt
primary_citations = []
sw_citations = sw.full_citations.all()
for x in sw_citations:
if x.is_primary:
primary_citations.append(x)
