I am trying to learn django by creating a blog on my own, and I've tried some real simple steps before, but now I want to make something slightly more complex. Currently, I am thinking of dividing the blogs' 'Stories' into 'Blocks'. My idea is to have two child classes 'TextBlock' and 'ImageBlock', and my current models look like this.
class Story(models.Model):
writer = models.CharField(max_length=189)
title = models.CharField(max_length=189)
class Block(models.Model):
story = models.ForeignKey(Story, related_name='+', on_delete=models.CASCADE)
block = EnumField(choices=[
('TXT', "text"),
('IMG', "image"),
])
serial = models.IntegerField(default=0)
date_created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
date_modified = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
class TextBlock(Block):
type = models.CharField(max_length=128, blank=True, null=True, default='paragraph')
content = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)
class ImageBlock(Block):
src = models.URLField()
type = models.CharField(max_length=128, blank=True, null=True, default='full')
title = models.CharField(max_length=189, blank=True, null=True)
photographer = models.CharField(max_length=128, blank=True, null=True)
What I'd like to do now is to create blog entries from the django admin interface. Is it possible to create both types from the main Block? Or do I need to go to both TextBlock and ImageBlock? Any ideas on how I should proceed from here? Thanks.
