Hey Felix,
Have you seen django.newforms.form_for_model and form_for_fields?
They're intended to do these things in a dynamic way. See the unit
tests in tests/modeltests/model_forms/models.py for examples.
Hi Adrian,
Thanks for the pointer. I haven't seen form_for_fields; I look forward
to the unittests. One 'problem' I've found with form_for_model (and
the auto manipulators back in the day) is that it's tricky to tweak a
single field if necessary.
My longstanding problem has been that I need to edit a many2many field
but the other table will contain over 100,000 rows. This takes a while
to load into the select field and isn't really that helpful. I've been
using a text field and chopping up the input to get the foreign
values. It's quite tricky to swap out the select field and add the
validators (especially in a maintainable way).
Therefore I whipped up the script to spew out the forms which I then
tweak as appropriate (I hope Fred doesn't look at it; he'll take my
license away for sure).
I'll be cheeky and ask my inheritance question again if that's okay:
is it possible for a Form to inherit from another. I'd like a form for
admin users which adds extra fields. Is something like this possible:
class JoeUserForm(forms.Form):
name = forms.CharField()
class AdminForm(JoeUserForm):
give_pay_rise = forms.BooleanField()
Thanks again for the reply,
Felix
