I am trying to get the total number of likes given to a user which is in my case the `author` of the post.

I have commented my trial as it didn't work.

*Here is the models.py*

```
class Post(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=100, unique=True)
    author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='author')
    likes = models.ManyToManyField(User, related_name='liked', blank=True)
class Like(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    post = models.ForeignKey(Post, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

```

*Here is the views.py that I have tried*

```
class PostDetailView(DetailView):
    model = Post
    template_name = "blog/post_detail.html" 

    def total_likes_received(request):
        #total_likes_received = Post.likes.filter(author=request.user).count() 
        return render(request, 'blog/post_detail.html', {'total_likes_received': total_likes_received})

```

*Here is the template:*

```
<small class="ml-5 mr-2" >Total {{ total_likes_received }} </small>

```

***Update:***
In order to try to fix this I have added:

```
class PostDetailView(DetailView):
    model = Post
    template_name = "blog/post_detail.html"  # <app>/<model>_<viewtype>.html

    def get_context_data(self, *args, **kwargs):
        context = super(PostDetailView, self).get_context_data()
        total_likes_received = Post.likes.filter(author=self.request.user).count()
What should I add here to show the total likes of all posts of an author not the logged in user
        context['total_likes_received'] = total_likes_received

```

***My question is:***
How to get the total number of likes given for all the posts given to a particular author
