    <p>Here is my issue. I am new to python/django (about 2 months in). I have 2 tables, Project and Status. I have a foreign key pointing from status to project, and I am looking to try to display the value of the foreign key (status) on my project template, instead of the address of the foreign key.</p> <p>Here is my models.py</p> <pre><code>from django.db import models from clients.models import Clients from django.contrib.auth.models import User from settings import STATUS_CHOICES from django.db import models from clients.models import Clients from django.contrib.auth.models import User from settings import STATUS_CHOICES class Project(models.Model): client = models.ForeignKey(Clients, related_name='projects') created_by = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='created_by') #general information proj_name = models.CharField(max_length=255, verbose_name='Project Name') pre_quote = models.CharField(max_length=3,default='10-') quote = models.IntegerField(max_length=10, verbose_name='Quote #', unique=True) desc = models.TextField(verbose_name='Description') starts_on = models.DateField(verbose_name='Start Date') completed_on = models.DateField(verbose_name='Finished On') def __unicode__(self): return u'%s' % (self.proj_name) class Status(models.Model): project = models.ForeignKey(Project, related_name='status') value = models.CharField(max_length=20, choices=STATUS_CHOICES, verbose_name='Status') date_created= models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True) def __unicode__(self): return self.value class Meta: verbose_name = ('Status') verbose_name_plural = ("Status") </code></pre> <p>My views.py</p> <pre><code>@login_required def addProject(request): if request.method == 'POST': form = AddSingleProjectForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): project = form.save(commit=False) project.created_by = request.user project.save() project.status.create( value = form.cleaned_data.get('status', None) ) return HttpResponseRedirect('/project/') else: form = AddSingleProjectForm() return render_to_response('project/addProject.html', { 'form': form, 'user':request.user}, context_instance=RequestContext(request)) </code></pre> <p>And finally my template:</p> <pre><code>{% if project_list %} &lt;table id="plist"&gt; &lt;tr id="plist"&gt; &lt;th&gt;Quote #&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Customer&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Date&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Project Name&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Status&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Contact&lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr id="plist"&gt; {% for p in project_list %} &lt;tr id="plist"&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="/project/{{ p.id }}/view"&gt;{{ p.pre_quote }}{{ p.quote }}&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;{{ p.client }}&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;{{ p.starts_on }}&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;{{ p.proj_name }}&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;{{ p.status_set.select_related }}&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;{{ p.created_by }}&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; {% endfor %} &lt;/table&gt; {% else %} &lt;p&gt;No projects available.&lt;/p&gt; {% endif %} </code></pre> <p>Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
