ValueError... Cannot query "User": Must be "Model" instance.
Abdu-H
Hello,
I am working on an app where car owner will list their car and drivers interested in renting them will make a request to rent the cars…
i basically have three models the users(car owners and drivers) car listed by owners, and rent, i have a listView to list all the car available and a detailView for each car, i have a button on the detailed view, when clicked i want it to take some of the information on the detailed view and save it in the rent model… But i am getting a ValueError (Cannot query "testuser1": Must be "Listing" instance). But i also need to store the driver(testuser1 in this case) in the Rent model.
Thanks in advance... any help is hugely appreciated
