display additional information, best practice

[Stefano Tranquillini]

Hi all.
just a question about how to proceed.
when i've to display data direct from the model (the db) one in a page is simple.
what if i want to display aggregate data or some data that needs logic?
i've to do it in the view and add the object to the contex, or it's better to do a custom tag filter?

what if i've a list of objects and for each object i've to compute an aggregate data?
for example i've a list of cars and for each car i want to know how many models exists. if i do in the view, how can i attach the aggregate data (which is a query) to each car? is it better to do with a custom tag filter?

ciao.

Have you tried detailview ?
Also it is possible to add some values to the temple in view

i gave it a look. but seems that detail view let me to display a model by just writing the template and not the view. right?

the point is, i've information that are not already in the object i want to display.

example:

i want to display the model called "Question" which has a set of "answers" given by "users"

now, how can i display for each question:

- the number of answer

- the number of correct answer

- the set of users who correctly answered.

?

can i do this with the detailview? beacuse i didn't find it out. or do i've to create a class to match the data i want to display and render this in a template?
