Django reverse lookup of foreign keys

I have a venue, this venue has many events happening there. My models look like this:

class Event(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    date_published = models.DateTimeField('published date',default=datetime.now, blank=True)
    date_start = models.DateTimeField('start date')
    date_end = models.DateTimeField('end date')
    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.title
    description = models.TextField()
    price = models.IntegerField(null=True, blank=True)
    venue = models.ForeignKey(Venue)

class Venue(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    date_published = models.DateTimeField('published date',default=datetime.now, blank=True)
    venue_latitude = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    venue_longitude = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    venue_address = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    venue_city = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    venue_state = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    venue_country = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    description = models.TextField()
    def __unicode__(self):
        return u'%s' % (self.title)

I’d like to display all the events that are happening at a certain venue. How can I do that? My current view looks like:

def detail(request, venue_id):
    venue = get_object_or_404(Venue, pk=venue_id)
    return render(request, 'venue-detail.html', {'venue': venue})

Thank you for visiting the Q&A section on Magenaut. Please note that all the answers may not help you solve the issue immediately. So please treat them as advisements. If you found the post helpful (or not), leave a comment & I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Method 1

You can use events = venue.event_set to go the other way.

Note that venue.event_set is a manager object, like Event.objects, so you can call .all, .filter, .exclude and similar on it to get a queryset.

See the Django documentation

Method 2

To those who have “‘RelatedManager’ object is not iterable”

Add all to retrieve the elements from the manager.

{% for area in world_areas.all %}

(cannot add this in comment to the first answer)

Method 3

Go the other way round. Use Event model.

def detail(request, venue_id):
    venue = Event.objects.filter(venue__id=venue_id)
    return render(request, 'venue-detail.html', {'venue': venue})

PS: I have never used get_object_or_404(). Modify code accordingly.
