I'm creating a profile form that includes first_name and last_name
fields that write to the User model and additional fields that write
to my user profile model derived from Alex S's post here:
http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/msg/00e49ca16c63762c
class UserProfileForm(forms.Form):
first_name = forms.CharField(max_length=128, required=False)
last_name = forms.CharField(max_length=128, required=False)
# userprofile form
address1 = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={ 'size':
'40' }), required=False)
address2 = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={ 'size':
'40' }), required=False)
address3 = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={ 'size':
'40' }), required=False)
towncity = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={ 'size':
'40' }), required=False)
adminregion = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={
'size':
'40' }), required=False)
country = forms.CharField(max_length=128, required=False)
postcode = forms.CharField(max_length=10, required=False)
telno = forms.CharField(max_length=20, required=False)
email = forms.EmailField(required=False)
I have implemented a save() method but haven't tested it yet.
The urlpattern for this is:
(r'^profiles/edit/$', 'profiles.views.edit_profile', { "form_class":
UserProfileForm }, "profile_edit_profile")
I can draw an instance of the form using django-profile's
profile_edit_profile view but this is not currently populating the
form with existing profile data. Following the django-profile docs, I
have created an __init__ function for the form as follows:
def __init__(self, instance, *args, **kwargs):
super(UserProfileForm, self).__init__(instance, *args, **kwargs)
self.instance = instance
This returns a form because it creates an 'instance' keyword but
doesn't populate it with data from profile_obj as called in views.py.
Do I need to call profile_obj in my init function and how, or is it
something else, or am I looking in the wrong direction. Document
pointers are welcome as I can't find anything specific.
Thanks
Simon
