That file is not just model formset code. In terms of what a model formset does, it is thin. It doesn't not change any behavior of a regular formset. Just provides the additional layer to hook up with models. I still consider that thin ;) > > I use it because I want to write forms that save models, and avoid > duplicating my model structure in the form class. Is'nt it what > modelforms are meant for ? Then why are you not able to pass in a queryset? What data are you sending to the server to generate the formset? From the little explained code are they just primary keys? -- Brian Rosner http://oebfare.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
