Agreed, I should get used to using Forms.
So I gave it a go, the new problem I have is out of my three fields,
two need to be hidden and have values automatically assigned from the
page they're on. This is freaking me out.
Now I have:
# forms.py
class RatingForm(forms.Form):
record = forms.CharField(widget=forms.HiddenInput)
critic = forms.CharField(widget=forms.HiddenInput)
rating = forms.ChoiceField(choices=RATING_CHOICES)
#views.py
def record_detail(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = RatingForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
record_rating = Rating()
record_rating.rating = form.cleaned_data['rating']
record_rating.record = ????
record_rating.writer = ????
record_rating.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/')
else:
...
How do I get the User.ID (as you'll need to be logged in), into that
hidden field or the DB. And also the Record.ID from the page I was
just on.
Know what I mean. Am I way off?
I'm new to this, so any detailed help is very welcome.
Thanks again,
