django-admin: creating,saving and relating a m2m model
- by pastylegs
I have two models:
class Production(models.Model):
gallery = models.ManyToManyField(Gallery)
class Gallery(models.Model):
name = models.CharField()
I have the m2m relationship in my productions admin, but I want that functionality that when I create a new Production, a default gallery is created and the relationship is registered between the two.
So far I can create the default gallery by overwriting the productions save:
def save(self, force_insert=False, force_update=False):
if not ( Gallery.objects.filter(name__exact="foo").exists() ):
g = Gallery(name="foo")
g.save()
self.gallery.add(g)
This creates and saves the model instance (if it doesn't already exist), but I don't know how to register the relationship between the two?
