Django: Adding User in a Group

Question

Here's the model,

class Groupchat(models.Model):
    admin = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name="admin")
    members = models.ManyToManyField(User, related_name="members", blank=True)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=50)

I've no idea how can 'admin' add any user to the Group that he/she created.

How can I do that or at least what is the right way to do so?

Please helpme!

Answer 1

Well, there is a simple way to do it

new_user = User.objects.get(pk=1) #get the user
group = Groupchat.objects.get(pk=1) #get the group
group.members.add(new_user)

things can get more sophisticated as the system grows, but starting with a simple solution and evolving whats is necessary is a good idea

if only the group admin can add persons, all you have to do is on the request check the admin used_id session to see if the id = group_admin id, if is proceed to the query above
