Create two models from one view django - django

Question

That may seem obvious, but I cannot figure it out for a while. I have three models: Project, Question_Text, and Question. Question has ForeignKey to the Project and to the Question_Text. I can create and save Project, but when I'm creating Question_Text, I should also create a Question in my understanding, from one view. I tried to use Question.objects.create(), however, my dances around this seem fatal. I get the below error:
table project_question has no column named question_text_id
From DB point of view it's like this:
"question_text_id" integer NOT NULL REFERENCES "project_question_text" ("id")
My models:
class Project(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
title = models.CharField(max_length=40)
audience_count = models.IntegerField(default=0)
audience_ready = models.IntegerField(default=0)
pub_date = models.DateTimeField("Date Created")
def __unicode__(self):
return self.title
class Question_Text(models.Model):
text_en = models.CharField(max_length=60, blank=True)
class Question(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
project = models.ForeignKey(Project)
question_text = models.ForeignKey(Question_Text)
viewed = models.BooleanField(default=False)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.question_text
My view:
def add_question(request, project_id):
a = Project.objects.get(id=project_id)
if request.method == "POST":
f = QuestionTextForm(request.POST)
if f.is_valid():
c = f.save(commit=False)
# c.pub_date = timezone.now()
q = Question.objects.create()
q.question_text = c
q.project = a
q.save()
c.save()
messages.success(request, "Your question was added")
return HttpResponseRedirect('/projects/get/%s' % project_id)
else:
f = QuestionTextForm(request.POST) #Add request params to initialization
args = {}
args.update(csrf(request))
# args['question'] = q
args['project'] = a
args['form'] = f
return render_to_response('project/add_question.html', args)
And my form:
class QuestionTextForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Question_Text
fields = ('text_en',)
Any help is appreciated.

You are saving q before c. But as q has field (foreignkey) for c, c needs to be saved first. Django internally refers id of c to update the tables and rows appropriately.
So change your code to
c = f.save(commit=False)
# c.pub_date = timezone.now()
c.save() #save c
#prepare object
q = Question()
q.question_text = c
q.project = a
q.user = request.user
q.save()
