Hi,
I have this:
class SomeModel(models.Model):
some_choice = models.CharField(maxlength=255, choices=CHOICES_DICT)
And I'm generating a form for HTML display using this:
SomeForm = newforms.models.form_for_model(SomeModel)
form = SomeForm()
But my some_choices field just shows up as a standard TextInput
widget. I've tried overriding the widget using a custom callback,
like this:
def obj_callback(f, **kwargs):
if f.name == "some_choice":
kwargs['widget'] = newforms.Select()
return f.formfield(**kwargs)
SomeForm = newforms.models.form_for_model(SomeModel,
formfield_callback = obj_callback)
form = SomeForm()
But as you would expect, this displays a Select widget, but it has no
options. I've got a temporary workaround which does this:
kwargs['widget'] = newforms.Select(choices=CHOICES_DICT)
...but it's not very DRY, and I'd really like to do away with the
callback function completely, instead defining the data model where it
belongs: in the model. My expectation was that the formfield would
recognise the choices=CHOICES in my model and generate a widget
accordingly, but it doesn't.
Am I missing something here? Or is this worth a patch submission?
Seems like I'm having to do a lot of hacking to get my forms
displaying nicely, particularly when it comes to designating widgets
for fields in a model.
Any enlightenment much appreciated.
