Taking the Book and Author example from
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/modelforms/
When creating a book, I would like to add an author if no such author exists.
I believe by default
class BookForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Book
displays "Author" as a drop down, but I want to make it a text box,
and then add the author from there, so as to avoid the situation where
an author must be created before a book can be created.
I modified BookForm so that author is now a char field. When a new
form is submitted, I try to get author for the given name, if they
don't exist, I create the author and then go on to adding the book.
Adding works ok. It is when I edit that I'm confused about.
When I go to edit book form, author field is empty! So before
rendering the edit, I get an instance of author and added it to the
form, but no luck.
Any suggestions?
thanks!
