Trying to get the table name in django, I need it to display the detailview correctly via if statemnet. I have such a view to display
class Home(ListView):
template_name = 'home.html'
def get_queryset(self):
qs1 = Book.objects.all()
qs2 = CD.objects.all()
qs3 = Film.objects.all()
queryset = sorted(list(chain(qs1, qs2, qs3)), key=operator.attrgetter('title'))
return queryset
and it returns to me this
[<CD: Music1>, <CD: Music2>, <Book: Some books>]
How can I get "CD" or "Book" in this template
{% block content %}
<div >
{% for object in object_list %}
<div >
<div >
<img src="{{ object.image.url }}">
<a href="{% url 'DetailBook' object.pk %}" >{{ object.title }}</a>
</div>
</div>
{% endfor %}
</div>
{% endblock content %}
At the same time, if it's a bad idea to display detailview and listview and it's done differently, I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know
I tried different ways of displaying object.key in a loop but it didn't work very well. And other queryset queries.

I've been down the list(chain(ob1, ob2, .. obn)
route. It proved highly tedious from a standpoint of code maintainability and complexity. Django Polymorphic is the way to go here.
from polymorphic.models import PolymorphicModel
class Product(PolymorphicModel):
user = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='products')
title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
slug = ...
... more fields all products share ex: price
def __str__(self):
return str(self.title)
@property
def model_name(self):
return self._meta.model_name
class Cd(Product):
<model fields for CD model>
class Book(Product):
<model fields for book model>
class Film(Product):
<model fields for film model>
Then:
Product.objects.all()
Will return the instances of all CD, Book and Film objects.
In your template, you can use the property model_name
to check if the object is a certain type of model.
{% block content %}
<div >
{% for object in object_list %}
{% if object.model_name == 'book' %}
<div >
<div >
<img src="{{ object.image.url }}">
<a href="{% url 'DetailBook' object.pk %}" >{{ object.title }}</a>
</div>
</div>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</div>
{% endblock content %}

You can obtain this with the .verbose_name
attribute [Django-doc] of the model options, so my_object._meta.verbose_name
. There is however a problem here: you can not access variables that start with an underscore, since these are "protected" or "private".
A solution might be to work with a template filter. You can define a templatetags
directory:
app_name/ __init__.py models.py templatetags/ __init__.py model_utils.py views.py
where you create the files in boldface. In model_utils
, you can construct a filter with:
from django import template
register = template.Library()
@register.filter
def modelname(value):
return value._meta.verbose_name
then we can use these in the template with:
{% load model_utils %}
{% for object in object_list %}
…
{{ object|modelname }}
{% endfor %}
