Hello, I have a modelform with a model which include a models.many_to_many field. By default the modelform represents those m2m entries with a multiplechoice field
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/modelforms/ example: tag_set = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(queryset=Tag.objects.all()) 1/ when I initialize my model form (form(instance=defaultinstance)), I would like the m2m entries to appear as a form.TextInput with default value of defaultinstance.tag_set.all() 2/ To save the tags, I have class AssignmentEditForm(ModelForm): [...] def save_m2m(self): tagNames = form.cleaned_data['tag_set'].split() for tagName in tagNames: tag, dummy = Tag.objects.get_or_create(name=tagName) self.__assignment.tag_set.add(tag) class Meta: MODEL = Assignment widgets = { 'tagline' : forms.TextInput(attrs={'size':70}), 'description' : forms.Textarea(attrs={'cols':80, 'rows':5}), 'tag_set': forms.TextInput(attrs={'size':70}), } How can I get the NEW instance in the save_m2m(self) for self.__assignment.tag_set.add(tag) ? (I had to overwrite save method as well with following def save(self,commit=True): ''' Overwrite the default model save ''' self.__assignment = super(AssignmentEditForm,self).save(commit=False) self.__assignment.save() self.save_m2m() Is there a better way to do that? -- Emmanuel Mayssat -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
