I GOT IT I GOT IT!!!!
I finally, after many a late night, and with a lot of help from
everyone, got it working, I'm so happy, it's a huge step for my
project!
After I used the obj = form.save(commit=False) option, I came up with
this:
formdata = {}
portfolio = Portfolio.objects.get(pk=portid)
if holdid is None:
modelform = form_for_model(Holding, form=HoldingForm)
else:
instance = Holding.objects.get(id__exact=holdid)
modelform = form_for_instance(instance, form=HoldingForm)
formdata = instance.__dict__
if request.POST:
form = modelform(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
obj = form.save(commit=False)
obj.portfolio = portfolio
obj.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/holding')
else:
form = modelform(formdata)
return render_to_response('holding/update.html', {'form': form} )
There is still some clean up to do, but my biggest problem was I was
not getting an instance of the FK object, and was trying to just
assign the ID of the FK myself, and apperently, django objects big
time to that!
Again, thanks to everyone for their help, and as soon as I get the
final parent / child code completed, i'll be posting that too.
Thanks again!
