AoA, I know the question is silly, but I am stuck here
here is the code...
nq = Notifications.objects.filter(userid__iexact=q)
for string in nq:
string.markType = "Read"
results = Notifications.objects.filter(Q(userid__iexact=q)).order_by('-id')
but the markType failed to set to "Read" ... why?
You probably meant to save the object after changing it:
nq = Notifications.objects.filter(userid__iexact=q)
for string in nq:
string.markType = "Read"
string.save()
results = Notifications.objects.filter(Q(userid__iexact=q)).order_by('-id')
Apart from the fact that you forgot to save your object it is recommended to use queryset.update method here, it is going to be faster than your current approach. But in case you've overrided the save method then don't use it.:
Notifications.objects.filter(userid__iexact=q).update(markType = "Read")
string.save().
