django models foreignkey beetwen apps

Question

Hello, I have problems with making my models to work. Here is my appname.misc.models file

from django.db import models

class user(models.Model):
    login=models.CharField(max_length=20)
    email=models.EmailField(max_length=50)
    banned=models.BooleanField()
    key=models.CharField(max_length=15)
    rights=models.CharField(max_length=10)
    password=models.CharField(max_length=50)
    question=models.CharField(max_length=200)
    answer=models.CharField(max_length=50)
    active=models.BooleanField()

Here in another app with sth like this

from django.db import models
from appname.misc import models as misc
class news(models.Model):
    title=models.SlugField()
    shortbody=models.CharField(max_length=250)
    fullBody=models.TextField()
    author=models.ForeignKey('misc.user')

And when I type manage.py sqlall news i got sth like this link text

I also tried to remove import statment and try do do this that way

author=models.ForeignKey('misc.user')

but still get error. Thx in advance for any help.

Answer 1

Can you try importing the user class directly? Something like:

from appname.misc.models import user 

class news(models.Model):
    title=models.SlugField()
    shortbody=models.CharField(max_length=250)
    fullBody=models.TextField()
    author=models.ForeignKey(user)

I also tried to do it according to your post and the error is the same – Artur 1 min ago

OK let us get something checked out first.

Is the app you are depending on i.e. appname part of the INSTALLED_APPS in your settings file?

If the answer to the question is "yes" then you can safely run syncdb and should see the tables get created. If you still get an error, please post the details.
