Hi all, How do i get the actual data for a form field in the DJango template? field.data does not seem to work all the time.
I saw the following: http://yuji.wordpress.com/2008/06/12/django-how-to-get-only-the-data-from-a-form-field/ which is exactly what i want to do, but field.data seems to return None for initial data. I.e. on GET request, I query the data for the form from the database and display it in a form. However the field.data shows None not the data from the model i queried. Note however that the initial values in the form elements are correct. In my view i have: def developer_view_or_update(request, developer_id): d = get_object_or_404(Developer, pk=developer_id) if request.method == 'POST': form = DeveloperForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): pass # @@@Brendon Later will do stuff else: form = DeveloperForm(instance=d) return render_to_response('DAN/web/detail.html', {'form': DeveloperForm(instance=d)}, context_instance=RequestContext(request)) My template: <form method="post" action="" > {% for field in form %} {{ field.name }} : {{ field.data }}<br /> {{ field.label_tag }}: {{ field }}<br /> {% endfor %} <input type="submit" value="submit"></input> </form> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
