Re: How to write a view that accesses a method over all objects in a given model?

Hi,

to access a model in the view, simply import it into you view.
Something along the lines:

from yourapp.models import Place
from django.http import HttpResponse

def some_view(request):
OBJECT_ID = 1 # put here the id of the object
# or give it as a function argument
place = Place.object.get(id=OBJECT_ID)
coordinates= place.coordinates()
return HttpResponse("The coordinates of the place number %s are:
%s"\
% (OBJECT_ID, coordinates) # assuming
Location has

# a string representation

You can also use django.db.models.get_model, which returns a model
class from a app_label, model_name tuple, although i would only use it
when the model names is not known at the compiling time.

Hope it helps.

Alendit.
