Hi, well hmm, actually im just trying to pass a static value from the model to the view. But I've figured out thats not how you do it in Django. In the actual case I have no database what so ever and do not wish to store anything. Thus it seems as if i have to put my logic in the view, or in a separate py-file and import it!

Hi!
So, time for a newbie question but so utterly important since the documentation seems to have missed this very very basic example.

All I'm trying to do is to return a value from a model to a view in Django. Here is some code.

The model

    class Page(models.Model):
        def index(self):
    	  ex = 'foo string'
    	  return ex

The view

    def index(request):
        start = Page.objects.all().index
        #start = Page.index # <- this one bugs to...
        return render_to_response('index.html', {'page_content': start})

And, nothing gets rendered. I get this error message with <unbound method Page.index>

...


The funny thing is that if I skip the functions and so on and creates the model like this

    class Page(models.Model):
        ex = 'goo string'

And call it with

    start = Page.ex

Everything renders out fine.

Any pointer or working example would be much appreciated!
Thanks
