Hay i need to hand implemeneting a voting system into a model.
I've had a huge helping hand from Mike DeSimone making this work in the first place, but i need to expand upon his work.
Here is my current code
View
def show_game(request):
game = Game.objects.get(pk=1)
discussions = game.gamediscussion_set.filter(reply_to=None)
d = {
'game':game,
'discussions':discussions
}
return render_to_response('show_game', d)
Template
<ul>
{% for discussion in discussions %}
{{ discussion.html }}
{% endfor %}
</ul>
Model
class GameDiscussion(models.Model):
game = models.ForeignKey(Game)
message = models.TextField()
reply_to = models.ForeignKey('self', related_name='replies', null=True, blank=True)
created_on = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, auto_now_add=True)
userUpVotes = models.ManyToManyField(User, blank=True, related_name='threadUpVotes')
userDownVotes = models.ManyToManyField(User, blank=True, related_name='threadDownVotes')
def html(self):
DiscussionTemplate = loader.get_template("inclusions/discussionTemplate")
return DiscussionTemplate.render(Context({
'discussion': self,
'replies': [reply.html() for reply in self.replies.all()]
}))
DiscussionTemplate
<li>
{{ discussion.
message }}
{% if replies %}
<ul>
{% for reply in replies %}
{{ reply }}
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endif %}
</li>
As you can see we have 2 fields userUpVotes and userDownVotes on the model, these will calculate how to order the discussions and replies.
How would i implement these 2 fields to order the replies and discussions based on votes?
Any help would be great!
