Hi I am looking for some advice. I have a basic Profile model. It looks something like:
Profile: first_name middle_name last_name birthday address_line1 address_line2 city state zip email phone I have a ModelForm that goes with this. This is sufficient for nearly all the cases I am trying to deal with. However, there are a few special cases in which a person needs to list two or more addresses; two or more email addrs; two or more phone numbers; or, combinations. I know just enough about database normalization to think that I need the Profile model plus Address, Email and Phone models and have the Profile have a ForeignKey relation to each of the others. A la: Profile: first_name middle_name last_name birthday <address-foreign-key> <email-foreign-key> <phone-foreign-key> Address address_line1 address_line2 City state zip Email email Phone phone My question is more about the associated ModelForm(s). First, I currently have a ModelForm for the first Profile model without the foreign keys. If I break out the address, email and phone portions into separate models do I need to create separate model forms for each new model? If so would the new Profile ModelFOrm just inherit the ModelForms of the other components. Something like: class ProfileForm(ModelForm, AddressForm, EmailForm, PhoneForm): ... The current ModelForm has "clean_<field>" "clean" methods. Do I keep that in the new Profile form? Do I put the various "clean" methods in their own model forms and hope that inheritance will pull them in? Next, how does a ModelForm deal with more than one of the same item -- like more then one address? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
