Hello!
I have a form generated with form_for_model.
I deleted a couple of fields from it, beacuse I don't want the user to
insert value for them, but their value should be automatically filled
after the submit of the form.
So, I have something like this:
MyForm = form_for_model(myModel)
del MyForm.base_fields['code']
del MyForm.base_fields['date']
del.MyForms.base_fields['author']
f = MyForm()
The form is nicely displayed the way I want.
Then, I have to save the data the user filled in the form, adding
values for three fields I removed.
I tried to do this way:
f = MyForm(request.post)
if f.is_valid():
num = Code.objects.get(pk=1) #I retrieve the code from a value
stored in a model
f.clean_data['code'] = num.nextcode
f.clean_data['date'] = datetime.date.today()
f.clean_data['author'] = request.user #I use the standard django
authentication
f.save()
The data are correctly saved on the database, but the three particular
field behave strangely:
the 'code' field is correctly saved, but the 'author' and 'date' filed
are not: in the database, they are Null.
In the MyModel model, 'date' is a model.DateField object, and 'author'
is a model.ForeignKey(User) object.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.
