django related_name for field clashes.
- by Absolute0
I am getting a field clash in my models:
class Visit(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
visitor = models.ForeignKey(User)
Error: One or more models did not validate:
profiles.visit: Accessor for field 'user' clashes with related field 'User.visit_set'. Add a related_name argument to the definition for 'user'.
profiles.visit: Accessor for field 'visitor' clashes with related field 'User.visit_set'. Add a related_name argument to the definition for 'visitor'.
what would be a sensible 'related_field' to use on visitor field? This model
basically represents the visits that take place to a
particular user's profile.
Also should I replace any of the ForeignKey's with a ManyToManyField? The logic is a bit confusing.
Edit:
This seems to fix it, but I am unsure if its what I want. :)
class Visit(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
visitor = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='visitors')
