hi there hank23 to fix the problem you just need to send the queryset parameter to the constructor of the ModelChoiceField
pollquestions = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=SomeModel, ...other stuff...) works but pollquestions = forms.ModelChoiceField(...other stuff without queryset...) raises the exception you are getting victor On 7 jan, 20:28, hank23 <hversem...@stchas.edu> wrote: > I have coded a new form with a ModelChoiceField defined on it which is > getting the following error: > > TemplateSyntaxError at /admin/ > Caught TypeError while rendering: __init__() takes at least 2 > arguments (6 given)Request Method: GET > Request URL:http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ > Django Version: 1.2.4 > Exception Type: TemplateSyntaxError > Exception Value: Caught TypeError while rendering: __init__() takes at > least 2 arguments (6 given) > Exception Location: C:\Users\hversemann\djangoprojects\mysite\polls > \forms.py in AddChoiceForm, line 7 > Python Executable: C:\Python27\python.exe > Python Version: 2.7.1 > Python Path: ['C:\\Users\\hversemann\\djangoprojects\\mysite', 'C:\ > \Python\\Lib', 'C:\\Python\\Lib\\site-packages', 'C:\\Users\\hversemann > \\Desktop\\PythonSourceFiles', 'C:\\Users\\hversemann\\djangoprojects\ > \mysite', 'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\python27.zip', 'C:\\Python27\\DLLs', > 'C:\\Python27\\lib', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\plat-win', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\ > \lib-tk', 'C:\\Python27', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages'] > Server time: > > and here's the new form code itself, which it apparently doesn't like: > > 1.from django import forms > 2. > 3.class AddChoiceForm(forms.Form): > 4. infomessage = forms.CharField(max_length=200) > 5. pollquestions = forms.ModelChoiceField(required=True, > label='Poll Questions', initial='Please select a poll question', > help_text='Select a poll question.', > 6. error_messages={'required': 'Please select a poll > question!', 'invalid_choice': 'Cannot select initial value!'}, > 7. widget=forms.Select(attrs={'name': 'pollquestions', > 'id':'pollquestions', 'size':'1', 'type':'select-one' })) ... > 8. confirmmessage = forms.CharField(max_length=200)9. newchoice > = forms.CharField(max_length=200) > > I think I all of the parameters for the ModelChoiceField are legal > based on the documentation, unless I have a typo somewhere.
