Hi guys, i am working on user CRUD. I am using one form for user creation and update. When user is initially created it is ok to perform password validation - users must have password, but in my edit form i want to have a logic like: when nothing is entered don't do anything, when user enters something in password field override old password. The problem is that password field is always mandatory. Is there some way to disable validation according to my logic.
This is my form from django import forms from django.contrib.auth.models import User class UserForm(forms.ModelForm): password = forms.CharField(widget=forms.PasswordInput) class Meta: model = User exclude = ('last_login', 'date_joined') def save(self, commit=True): user = super(UserForm, self).save(commit=False) password = self.cleaned_data["password"] if user.pk: if password: user.set_password(self.cleaned_data["password"]) else: user.set_password(self.cleaned_data["password"]) if commit: user.save() return user and my view @login_required @user_passes_test(lambda u: u.groups.filter(name='Users').count() == 1, login_url='/access-denied/') def form(request, pk=None): if request.POST: if pk: target = User.objects.get(pk=pk) form = UserForm(request.POST, instance=target) else: form = UserForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): form.save() return HttpResponseRedirect('/user/list') else: if pk: target = User.objects.get(pk=pk) form = UserForm(instance=target) else: form = UserForm() args = {} args.update(csrf(request)) args['form'] = form return render_to_response('users/form.html', args, context_instance=RequestContext(request)) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
