Adding models - AndersFelde/Django-template GitHub Wiki

Adding a new model

• create a new file "testModel.py" in webpage/submodels/

  • look at exampleModel.py to steal code

• import model in webpage/models.py

  • from .submodels.testModel1 import modelName

• run python manage.py makemigrations webpage

• run python manage.py migrate

• add admin.site.register(modelName) in webpage/admin.py

  • from .submodels.testModel1 import modelName

• log in to http://localhost:8000/admin to view the model

admin:admin

---

Tips:

• define __str__ in a model to make it look better on the admin page
  • make it return the name or id of the model
