I'm completely confused why I'm getting this error: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'questions'
when I try to initiate CustomBaseFormSet. I've been trying to hack together a Poll with dynamic Questions and Choices. This has been much more difficult than I expected. I started with the examples here: http://www.pointy-stick.com/blog/2009/01/23/advanced-formset-usage-django/ but now I'm at a loss for how to resolve this. thanks for any help, Bryan Django 1.1 beta 1 # # models.py class Product(models.Model): # manufacturer = models.ForeignKey(Manufacturer) name = models.CharField(max_length=100) pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published') def __unicode__(self): return u'%s' % (self.name) class Poll(models.Model): product = models.ForeignKey(Product) name = models.CharField(max_length=100) def __unicode__(self): return self.name class Question(models.Model): poll = models.ForeignKey(Poll) name = models.CharField(max_length=100) def __unicode__(self): return self.name class Choice(models.Model): question = models.ForeignKey(Question) order = models.IntegerField(null=True, blank=True) name = models.CharField(max_length=200) def __unicode__(self): return self.name class Answer(models.Model): poll = models.ForeignKey(Poll) question = models.ForeignKey(Question) user = models.ForeignKey(User) text = models.CharField(max_length=100) pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published') class AnswerForm(forms.Form): poll_id = forms.IntegerField() question = forms.IntegerField() # answer = forms.RadioSelect() text = forms.ChoiceField(widget=forms.RadioSelect()) def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): # for some reason this is giving an unscripable error question = kwargs.pop('question') super(AnswerForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) choices = question.choice_set.order_by('order') self.fields['text'].choices = [(i, choice.name) for i, choice in enumerate(choices)] # self.fields['text'].choices = [(0, u'Poor'), (1, u'Acceptable'), (2, u'Excellent')] from django.forms import formsets # this is being called with: # PollFormSet(data, questions=questions) # error = __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'questions' class CustomBaseFormSet(formsets.BaseFormSet): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): self.questions = kwargs["questions"] self.extra = len(self.questions) super(CustomBaseFormSet, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) # this is to be deleted I'm just trying to initiate the debugger where I think the error is happening # The set_trace() is not being called # this is called in the __init__ statement of BaseFromSet def _construct_forms(self): # instantiate all the forms and put them in self.forms self.forms = [] # I tried to setup import pdb; pdb.set_trace() for i in xrange(self.total_form_count()): self.forms.append(self._construct_form(i)) def _construct_form(self, i, **kwargs): kwargs['question'] = self.questions[i] return super(CustomBaseFormSet, self)._construct_form(i, **kwargs) PollFormSet = formsets.formset_factory(AnswerForm, CustomBaseFormSet) ################################################################## # views.py def poll_detail(request, poll_id): """ displays poll detail for the person to answer the questions in the Poll. if the request is a POST then process the form """ if request.method == 'POST': formset = create_poll_formset(quiz_id, request.POST) if formset.is_valid(): answers = [str(int(f.is_correct())) for f in formset.forms] return HttpResponseRedirect('%s?a=%s' % (reverse('result-display', args=[poll_id]), ''.join(answers))) else: formset = create_poll_formset(poll_id) return render_to_response('products/poll_detail.html', {'formset': formset}) def create_poll_formset(poll_id, data=None): questions = Question.objects.filter(poll=poll_id) if not questions: # No poll found, must be a bad poll_id raise Http404("Invalid poll_id") return PollFormSet(data, questions=questions) -- The best marketing related articles are at http://www.InstantDirectMarketing.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
