copied!<p>Try something along the lines of:</p> <pre><code># models.py class Gallery(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=30) description = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True) images = models.ManyToMany(Image) class Image(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=30) caption = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True) image = models.ImageField(upload_to=SOMEPLACE_FOR_MEDIA) </code></pre> <p>From here you should be able to do things like:</p> <pre><code>image = Image.objects.get(title="Girl Holding Cheese") related_galleries = image.gallery_set.all() </code></pre> <p>or something similar as needed to pull what you want. The same goes the other way. To pull all images in a gallery you would do</p> <pre><code>gallery = Gallery.objects.get(name="Cheesy Wimmin") related_images = gallery.images.all() </code></pre> <p>Though the assignments at the end aren't necessary, I usually just pass gallery.images.all() or image.gallery_set.all() directly. Note the "_set" at the end of the reference from the object that does <em>not</em> contain the M2M definition.</p> <p>On the subject of direct usage, you can do compound references like</p> <pre><code>Image.objects.get(title="Girl Holding Cheese").gallery_set.all() </code></pre> <p>as well, but you have to decide when this makes code more clear and concise and when it just makes it more confusing to read later.</p> <p>I hope this put you in the right direction.</p> <h2>Update</h2> <p>In your comment below you noticed that you cannot do</p> <pre><code>images = Images.objects.filter(gallery_set="Cheesy Wimmins") related_galleries = images.gallery_set.all() </code></pre> <p>This is because you would be trying to filter() or all() on a queryset, not an individual model. So to make this work you can use a for loop in your template. Something like</p> <pre><code># views.py galleries = Gallery.objects.all() return render(request, 'some/template.html', {'galleries': galleries}) </code></pre> <p>And then</p> <pre><code> {% for gallery in galleries %} <div class="gallery"> <h2>{{ gallery.name }}</h2> {% for item in gallery.images.all %} <div class="image"> {{ item.image }} </div> {% endfor %} </div> {% endfor %} </code></pre> <p>or something like this. Of course, you need to do whatever formatting steps you want to make this look right, but that's a way to get at your data.</p>

Querying!
