hi All,
So I was beating my head against this problem for a couple of hours,
and when I finally found out what I was doing wrong, I beat my self
some more for over looking such a simple mistake. I was starting a
new app, and was adding a form to my view, and then passing this form
to the template. The problem that I was having was that the form
inputs were not rendering. It turns our my issue was in my view, here
a snippet of what was going wrong:
from my.site.forms import addEntry
...
def myGreatView(request)
item = {'form': addEntry}
return render_to_response('listing.html', item,
context_instance=RequestContext(request) )
This problem that I was having was the my addEntry form needed a
open/close parentheses at the end, addEntry(). I know that Django
templates fail silently, even when I used {% debug %} my 'form' had no
values! A newbie mistake, but still frustrating error.
With all that being said, I have two questions:
1) Is there any time that you would want to pass the addEntry, no (),
to a template? Nothing really comes to mind, but I'd love to read
about it.
2) Would this be something that I could put into the Django trac
system, as an "improvement". That is, have a template fail if it is
passed an addEntry, or at least have the (% debug %} show something
like the python interpeter, <class of something at 0xA...> .
Many Thanks,
-karlw
