Thanks for your responses, they have helped.
I've read the documentation many times, and only resort to groups
after re-reading what I can find in the docs, testing various logical
solutions, digging through groups and finally confering with a 3rd
party book I've here on Django. If all else fails,
then I post to groups.
So that is why I'm puzzled when {{ var }} does not present var on my
form.
As mentioned above in views.py I'm passing data to the form_class in
this example I'm using str to convert value to string.
in view.py then
...
thisusername = str(request.user.username)
data = {'thisusername':username,}
form = form_class(data)
Now it seems form_class() would be adding the data to
itself with form_class(data) but it isn't.
Instead I have to add the context to the render_to_response
despite the fact that this data has been added to form
earlier.
ie.
return render_to_response(template_name, { 'form': form},
context_instance=context)
will either not display the item, or force it to be viewed
only as a corresponding writable field as defined in forms.py
or model.py.
but loading it directly to render_to_response works...
return render_to_response(template_name, { 'form': form,
'thisusername':username},
context_instance=context)
So perhaps a better question would be is
in view.py...
-----------
thisusername = str(request.user.username)
data = {'thisusername':username,}
form = form_class(data)
Why is it form_class(data) does not accept the data
as declared and enable it to presented it in
templates in any other form than a writable field
-- when render_to_response allows the data to be
presented as a string?
