I now have a new question related to the same project. I currently have
a code snippet like this:
1.for item in d.entries:
2. link = Link(url=item.link)
3. link.save()
4. user = User.objects.get(id=1)
5. link = Link.objects.get(id=1)
6. bookmark = Bookmark (
7. title = item.title,
8. desc = item.description,
9. link = link,
10. user = user,
11. )
12. bookmark.save()
I need to increment the link id (line 5) for each item in the
d.entries. I tried "link = Link.objects.get(id=id+1)" and "link =
Link.objects.get((id=1)+1)", but both of them generated errors. I am
not quite sure where to go from here.
Thank you,
Tonu
