Django Datetime field question
- by Shehzad009
Hello I have been having a problem with django while trying to work with datetime. In my webapp I have a table like so when I run server.
ID Owing
1 -100 (All the same value)
2 -100
3 -100
. .
. .
. .
It has in one column Invoice id and the other owing. One-one relationship as well. sow for example owing value for 1 is 100. Unfortunately, this is where it all goes wrong because throughout column (Owing), it is giving me the owing value for ID=1. I want each ID to give me their owing value.
Here is my view. I also wonder if I may need a for loop somewhere as well.
def homepage(request):
invoices_list = Invoice.objects.all()
invoice_name = invoices_list[0].client_contract_number.client_number.name
invoice_gross = invoices_list[0].invoice_gross
payment_date = invoices_list[0].payment_date
if payment_date <= datetime.now():
owing = invoice_gross
if payment_date > datetime.now():
owing = 0
else: owing= 0
return render_to_response(('index.html', locals()), {'invoices_list': invoices_list ,'invoice_number':invoice_number, 'invoice_name':invoice_name, 'invoice_gross':invoice_gross, 'payment_date':payment_date, 'owing': owing}, context_instance=RequestContext(request))
EDIT: Here is my template. The thing is the function owing is not in my models so saying {{invoices.owing}} wont work.
{% for invoices in invoices_list %}
<tr>
<td>{{invoices.invoice_number}}</td>
<td>{{invoices.invoice_contact}}</td>
<td>{{invoices.client_contract_number}}</td>
<td>{{invoices.payment_date|date:"d M Y"}}</td>
<td>{{invoices.invoice_gross}}</td>
<td>{{owing}}</td>
{% endfor %}
