Don't try too hard to directly link form to model.
For the attendance form, you might use a MultipleChoiceField
checkboxSelectMultiple widget, where the value of each choice is set
to the pk of the student model. You should get a list of id's that
were checked when the form gets submitted.
Something like this:
class Attendance(forms.Form):
student_list = forms.ChoiceField()
def __init__(self,*args,**kwargs):
super(Attendance,self).__init__(*args,**kwargs)
self.fields['student_list'].widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple(choices=[(s.id,s.name)
for s in Students.objects.all()])
def get_headcount(self):
""" This will return a with the pk of every student 'checked'
"""
if self.is_valid():
return self.clean_data['student_list']
So if you had choices ((1,'Bob'),(2,'Peggy'),(3,'Barney'))
and a person checked Bob and Barney, you'd get a list back: [1,3]
