How I get data from "third" related model in django? - django

Question

Hi guys,
I have this models:
class Pais(models.Model):
nome = models.CharField('Nome', max_length=50)
class Brinq(models.Model):
descricao = models.CharField('Nome', max_length=50)
class Filhos(models.Model):
nome = models.CharField('Nome', max_length=50)
idade = models.IntegerField('Idade')
pai = models.ForeignKey('Pais')
brinq = models.ForeignKey('Brinq', related_name='Brinq')
This view:
def editPai(request, idpai=None):
if idpai:
pai = Pais.objects.get(id=idpai)
else:
pai = None
ItensInlineFormSet = inlineformset_factory(Pais, Filhos, form=FilhosForm, extra=1)
formPais = PaisForm()
formsetItens = ItensInlineFormSet(instance=pai)
return render_to_response("base.html", {
"formPais": formPais, "formsetItens": formsetItens
}, context_instance=RequestContext(request), )
and this forms:
class PaisForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Pais
class FilhosForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Filhos
Ok, How can I get "descricao" value from "Brinq" model in my template? I think it's a simple question but, I tried looking, looking and looking again from internet and I don't find anything about this.
I start to thing it's not possible to do it using django, I want to believe that I'm wrong, but as I said, I didn't find anything about this in internet.
I try:
{% for form in formsetItens %}
<tr>
<td> {{ form.nome }}</td>
<td> {{ form.idade }}</td>
<td> {{ form.brinq__descricao }}</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
and {{ form.brinq.descricao}} to, and nothing... :(
Can anyone help me with this problem?

You are trying to iterate over a FormSet. As the docs say "The formset gives you the ability to iterate over the forms in the formset and display them as you would with a regular form".
So you can for example do the following to display all the fields included in the form:
{% for form in formsetItens %}
{{ form.as_table }}
{% endfor %}
..or if it fits your use case you could wrap each form into a form tag, and loop over the form fields:
{% for form in formsetItens %}
<form action="/contact/" method="post">
{% for field in form %}
<div class="fieldWrapper">
{{ field.errors }}
{{ field.label_tag }} {{ field }}
</div>
{% endfor %}
<p><input type="submit" value="Send message" /></p>
</form>
{% endfor %}
