Upgrading from django-tables Version 1

• Change your INSTALLLED_APPS entry from "django_tables.app" to "django_tables2".

• Change all your import references from django_tables to django_tables2.

• Replace all references to the old MemoryTable and ModelTable classes with simply Table.

• In your templates, load the django_tables2 template library; {% load django_tables2 %} instead of {% load tables %}.

• A table object is no longer iterable; rather than for row in table, instead you now do explicitly: for row in table.rows.

• If you were using row.data to access a row’s underlying data, replace it with row.record instead.

• When declaring columns, replace the use of:

  name_in_dataset = tables.Column(name="wanted_column_name")
  

  with:

  wanted_column_name = tables.Column(accessor="name_in_dataset")
  

• When declaring columns, replace the use of:

  column_to_override = tables.Column(name="wanted_column_name", data="name_in_dataset")
  

  with:

  wanted_column_name = tables.Column(accessor="name_in_dataset")
  

  and exclude column_to_override via the table meta data.

• When generating the link to order the column, instead of:

  {% set_url_param sort=column.name_toggled %}
  

  use:

  {% querystring table.order_by_field=column.order_by_alias.next %}
  

• Replace:

  {{ column.is_ordered_reverse }} and {{ column.is_ordered_straight }}
  

  with:

  {{ column.order_by.is_descending }} and {{ column.order_by.is_ascending }}
