Using google appengine and django.
Whenever I have a db.ReferenceProperty() inside a model like:
class User( db.Model ) :
name = db.StringProperty()
avatar = db.ReferenceProperty( dbImage )
So when putting out a User's page, in the django template I CAN'T do
<div>
<span>{{ user.name }}</span>
<span>{{ user.avatar.key() }}</span>
</div>
What I'm doing right now is writing a bit of python code before the data goes out to the template that looks like
user.avatarsKey = user.avatar.key()
Then
<div>
<span>{{ user.name }}</span>
<span>{{ user.avatarsKey }}</span>
</div>
eliminating the function call. I don't like this though, because I have to do it in a lot of places and its starting to get cluttery. Is there a way to invoke the .key() method of a db object from inside the template?
