Hello, I have a custom field whose behavior depends on a parameter show_all. (It makes the field pull from the database for display only those keywords where show=True.)
class KeywordsField(forms.ChoiceField): def __init__(self, choices=(), required=True, widget=widgets.KeywordsWidget, label=None, initial=None, show_all=False, help_text=None): self.show_all=show_all super(KeywordsField, self).__init__(choices=self.choices, required=required, widget=widget, label=label, initial=initial, help_text=help_text) (edited; I hope I didn't introduce any typos.) I have a form that I'd like to call as f0=KeywordsForm(show_all=True) and pass show_all to the field. Here is my try. class KeywordsForm(forms.Form): keywords=KeywordsField(required=False) def __init__(self, show_all=False, *args, **kwargs): self.show_all = show_all super(KeywordsForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) self.fields['keywords'].show_all=show_all Setting self.fields didn't work (or I wouldn't be writing). Neither did calling this. keywords=KeywordsField(required=False,show_all=self.show_all) Neither did a fair amount of looking at the documentation, the source, and googling, although no doubt I didn't do it right. Can someone give me a hint about how I should do it? I'd be grateful. Jim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
