Add Blog Categories - Django Blog #12

In this video we'll start to add categories to our blog with Django.

So you've got a blog, but you want to be able to designate a 'category' for each blog post. We'll start out by adding a category field to our Post database model. Then we'll create a whole new model named Category.

This new model will allow us to add, edit, or remove Categories from the blog itself in the future (as opposed to just hard coding in the categories on the backend).

Also, if you want to fix 'Categorys', add this meta class in your model:

class Meta:
verbose_name_plural = "Categories"

[ibrahimhennihaouas]

the best method you can create:
category= models.ForeignKey(Caterory, max_length=60, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name= 'catego')

Excellent channel, I've been learning quite a bit from you on Django. You've got yourself another subscriber.

I think you are the only one that gives attention to the default property. Other vids over Youtube do not mention that. A lot of students delete db.sqlite3 and migrations (not the __init__) and then do a migration of all Data Base. Of course, with this, you do not have errors when migrating the database. But, for me, it´s so much better to understand the default property and do not lose data on the future... Great Material.

Hi, Jhon, Thanks for this Django Series.

As a feedback I think that it's better to create a Foreign key in Post.category field instead of the query you did.😄

[justasnom]

great tutorial.
any ideas how to skip restarting the server?
I've noticed that the category appears after some time even without restrating the server, but are there any ways to make it instant, just like adding posts?

[universitystudio]

i hope we can see more projects in the near future .ps : love your vids. keep up the good work and your chanel will grow evantually .

Wouldn't it be easeir to make category a foreign key with "on_delete=SET_DEFAULT" set to something like "misc" so the post wouldn't be deleted if you deleted certain category and you wouldn't have to do a query on forms.py?

[smishra]

Great tutorial! Here are my 2 cents to make the `choices` code a bit more pythonic-

choices = Category.objects.all().values_list('name', 'name')
choice_list = [choice for choice in choices]

I from Ukraine and my english so bad, but you so good in explanation and it`s great, thank you so much

[muzy_mess]

Your videos and explanations are just amazinggg!!

[andrewwebberley]

Love the video, had a few suggestions for videos (don't feel pressure), comments, like button, slugs (choose the url), and author pages!

If you are wondering how to add the category option to the edit form:

Open up your forms.py. Under Meta>fields, include "category'

Then under widgets, include the following code where you want your categories to show up:
'category': forms.Select (choices= choice_list, attrs= {'class': 'form-control'}),

Save and then refresh your work.

should i use like this ?
categories = models.ManyToManyField('category.Category', help_text='Categorize this item.')
