Django model manager didn't work with related object when I do aggregated query
- by Satoru.Logic
Hi, all.
I'm having trouble doing an aggregation query on a many-to-many related field.
Let's begin with my models:
class SortedTagManager(models.Manager):
use_for_related_fields = True
def get_query_set(self):
orig_query_set = super(SortedTagManager, self).get_query_set()
# FIXME `used` is wrongly counted
return orig_query_set.distinct().annotate(
used=models.Count('users')).order_by('-used')
class Tag(models.Model):
content = models.CharField(max_length=32, unique=True)
creator = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='tags_i_created')
users = models.ManyToManyField(User, through='TaggedNote',
related_name='tags_i_used')
objects_sorted_by_used = SortedTagManager()
class TaggedNote(models.Model):
"""Association table of both (Tag , Note) and (Tag, User)"""
note = models.ForeignKey(Note) # Note is what's tagged in my app
tag = models.ForeignKey(Tag)
tagged_by = models.ForeignKey(User)
class Meta:
unique_together = (('note', 'tag'),)
However, the value of the aggregated field used is only correct when the model is queried directly:
for t in Tag.objects.all(): print t.used # this works correctly
for t in user.tags_i_used.all(): print t.used #prints n^2 when it should give n
Would you please tell me what's wrong with it? Thanks in advance.
