Hi Bobby,
See
http://adil.2scomplement.com/2008/05/django-add-choices-to-form-fields-on-runtime/
Try something like the following:
# Define your choices
LOCATION_CHOICES = ((1,'location1'),
(2,'location2'),
(3,'location3'),
(4,'location4'),
)
LOCATION_CHOICES_PUBLIC = ((1,'location1'),
(2,'location2'),
(3,'location3'),
)
Example 1
---------
class ProfileForm(forms.Form):
class Meta:
model = Profile
locations = forms.ChoiceField(required=True)
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
# This is a bit of a hack
if 'user_type' in kwargs and kwargs['user_type'] == 'public':
public = True
# We do not want to pass our kwarg to super
del kwargs['user_type']
else:
public = False
super(ProfileForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
if 'user_type' in kwargs and kwargs['user_type'] == 'public':
self.fields['locations'].choices = LOCATION_CHOICES_PUBLIC
else:
self.fields['locations'].choices = LOCATION_CHOICES
In your module use
form = ProfileForm(user_type='public')
or
form = ProfileForm()
Example 2
---------
class ProfileForm(forms.Form):
class Meta:
model = Profile
# the limited choices are our default
locations = forms.ChoiceField(choices = LOCATION_CHOICES_PUBLIC,
required=True)
In your module
form = ProfileForm()
if not public:
form.fields['locations'].choices = LOCATION_CHOICES
Example 2 is a bit 'cleaner'/neater I think.
Regards
Chris
