This is my first attempt at trying to code a form and use it in a
view, so I've probably got something wrong. At this point I just
wanted to produce the screen with all of the fields displayed on it,
just to see if I have things coded correctly to display the screen the
first time.
I'm not getting any error but I'm also not getting everything on my
screen which I think I should be getting. The screen should display a
title, then a message, a dropdown box(pollquestions), a button, and
finally another message. At least it should as long as I have my html
coded properly. My form is defined this way:
class AddChoiceForm(forms.Form):
infomessage = forms.CharField(max_length=200)
pollquestions =
forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=Poll.objects.all(), required=True,
label='Poll Questions', initial='Please select a poll question',
help_text='Select a poll question.',
error_messages={'required': 'Please select a poll question!',
'invalid_choice': 'Cannot select initial value!'},
widget=forms.Select(attrs={'name': 'pollquestions',
'id':'pollquestions', 'size':'1', 'type':'select-one' }))
confirmmessage = forms.CharField(max_length=200)
newchoice = forms.CharField(max_length=200)
my addchoice.html screen is defined this way:
<h1>Add Poll Choice Screen</h1>
<form action="/polls/addchoice/" method="POST">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ infomessage }}
<br /><br />
{{ pollquestions }}
<br /><br />
<input type="submit" value="addchoice" />
<br /><br />
{{ confirmmessage }}
</form>
and my view is coded this way:
def addchoice(request):
polls = Poll.objects.all()
pollcount = Poll.objects.all().count()
if pollcount > 0 :
message = "Number of polls passed to form was " + str(pollcount)
else:
message = "No polls passed in to form."
confirm = "Nothing added."
data = {'pollquestions': polls, 'infomessage': message,
'confirmmessage': confirm }
form = AddChoiceForm(data)
dctnry = {'form': form, 'data': data}
return render_to_response('polls/addchoice.html',
dctnry,
context_instance=RequestContext(request))
I would appreciate any help or suggestions, for figuring this out.
Thanks.
