Query for all Images in Collection

[siram....@gmail.com]

Hi All,

I am trying to get all Images (in a certain Collection), but can't get it to work unfortunately. I tried to query for them like this: 

def photos(self):

photos = Image.objects.all()

return photos

def get_context(self, request):

photos = self.photos

context = super(PhotosPage, self).get_context(request)

context['photos'] = photos

return context

and then use 

{% for item in photos %}

in the template. However, this is always empty.

Any hints? Also on how to get them from just one collection?

Best, Simon

Hi Simon,

The line
photos = self.photos
needs to be:
photos = self.photos()

- otherwise, the 'photos' method won't get called (it'll just set the variable 'photos' to be a reference to the function instead).

To limit the query to a specific collection:
photos = Image.objects.filter(collection__name='Photos')
(or, if you want to identify the collection by ID rather than name: filter(collection__id=1) - see https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/ref/models/querysets/#id4 for other ways of querying.)

Cheers,
- Matt
