I have situation where I have lots of different type of content on my website such as blogs, posts, articles and so on. I have a made a favorite class for each such model, where I store the people who have set a particular instance of that model as there favorite.
Below given are the models
# For storing user favorites -- blogs
class favorite(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
entry = models.ForeignKey(Entry)
created = models.DateTimeField()
def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
if not self.id:
self.created = datetime.datetime.now()
super(favorite, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
# For storing user favorites -- Posts
class favorite_post(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
post = models.ForeignKey(Post)
created = models.DateTimeField()
def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
if not self.id:
self.created = datetime.datetime.now()
super(favorite_post, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
As can be seen both the class have the same structure except that one field changes, which is a reference to the object which was liked. In my view, I get the object list from each of the tables. Now I want to merge these object_list into one list, sorted on the basis of created time.
Is there a way i can do this?
