I need to create an edit box called handicapped with three drop down options on the display: 0 - none 1 - Mental 2 - Phyiscal
and connect it to the handicapped field init(11) in the family database I know I have to do something like: if form['handicapped'].data == 1 or 2: q = context['child_filter'].filter(Q(handicapped=handicapped_dict[request.POST['handicapped']])) >>> But I'm really confused about the above part. # start of output using search parameters if q.count() > 1: search_message = "There are %s children that match your selection of %s" % (q.count(), request.POST['gender']) else: search_message = "There is 1 child that matches your selection of %s" % (request.POST['gender']) if q.count() > 1: search_message = ", age: %s" % (request.POST['age']) else: search_message = ", age: %s" % (request.POST['age']) if form.data['handicapped'] is 'Physical' or 'Mental': if q.count() > 1: search_message = ", is %s handicapped" % (request.POST['handicapped']) elif q.count() == 1: search_message = ", is %s handicapped" % (request.POST['handicapped']) else: search_message = ", are %s handicapped" % (request.POST['handicapped']) but it doesn't _work at all_. I should say the database is defined correctly. I get lots of different types of errors - sorry I can't include them now, ... I am trying to find the children (already in the database) who may or may not have one of two types of handicaps. I _do_ use Form. The form file contents follow: from django import forms from .widgets import ChainedSelectWidget from .models import Child class SponsorForm(forms.Form): child = forms.IntegerField() class FilterForm(forms.Form): gender = forms.ChoiceField(choices=[(x, x) for x in ('-----', 'MALE', 'FEMALE')], required=False) age = forms.ChoiceField(choices=[(x, x) for x in range(1, 18)], required=False) # orphaned = forms.BooleanField(initial=False,required=False) # extreme_need = forms.BooleanField(initial=False,required=False) handicapped = forms.ChoiceField(choices=[(x, x) for x in ('-------', 'Mental', 'Physcal')], required=False) def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super(FilterForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) if 0 == len(self.data): self.fields['age'].queryset = Child.objects.none() # assign a widget to second select field self.fields['age'].widget = ChainedSelectWidget( parent_name='gender', # the name of parent field app_name='sponsorship', # the name of model's application model_name='child', # the name of a model with the method method_name='get_children', # the name of queryset method ) -Eileen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
