Import the model from the app of choice and use it as usual.

thanks for the response just to be more elaborative, here is my import code and view code. same code is working in the archivesuploads app but when i try to fetch the queryset in the other app it does not return records

#import code

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from .models import StaffDetail, PeopleDetail, StudentDetail
from django.contrib import messages
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.urls import reverse
from django.utils import timezone # to display date and time as per timezone
from django.views.generic import ListView, DetailView, View, TemplateView
from archivesuploads.models import Archivesuploads, Archivetypes, Interests

#view
class ArchivesuploadsListView(ListView):

    context_object_name = 'object_list'
    queryset = Archivesuploads.objects.all()#[:2] add this to limit the number of publications
    template_name = "person.html"

Hey Perceval,

it seems like you have way too many import statements.

something like this should be enough:

from django.views.generic import ListView

from .models import StaffDetail, PeopleDetail, StudentDetail

class ArchivesuploadsListView(ListView):
    queryset = Archivesuploads.objects.all()#[:2] add this to limit the number of publications  # <- optional
    template_name = "person.html" # <- optional

    model = StaffDetail # <-not optional

if you want to use a model from a different app, you need to import only this specific model:

from otherapp.models import OtherModel

and then just tell the ListView with model = OtherModel you want to use it.

hope it helps

p.s.: please use a different Font! :)

Import another app model.

Hi Marius

thanks for your input,i did remove the import statements but nothing returned on my template surprisingly in another app the code is working.

#view
from django.shortcuts import render

from django.views.generic import ListView, DetailView, View, TemplateView
from archivesuploads.models import Archivesuploads, Archivetypes, Interests

from .models import StaffDetail, PeopleDetail, StudentDetail

class ArchivesuploadsListView(ListView):
    #model = Archivesuploads

    context_object_name = 'object_list'
    queryset = Archivesuploads.objects.all()#[:2] add this to limit the number of publications
    template_name = "person.html"

#template

  {% if object_list %}
      <ul>
        {% for archiveupload in object_list %}
        <p>{{ archiveupload.name }}
          <a style="color:#99241B;" href="{{ archiveupload.url }}" target="_blank"> <i>{{ archiveupload.title }}</a></i>
          <b>({{ archiveupload.publication_date | date:"Y"}})</b>
          {{ archiveupload.general_doi }}</p>
        {% endfor %}
      </ul>

      {% else %}
      <p>There are no Publications</p>
      {% endif %}

This can have several causes - f.e. did you add the ListView to your urls.py? is the import of the models working? (this implies to check your folder/module structure)

Hi Marius

below is my urls.py for the peoplemanager app, my Archivesuploads ListView is in peoplemanager app and not archiveuploads, can i then change the import 

from  archivesuploads.views import ArchivesuploadsListView to peoplemanager.views import ArchivesuploadsListView
