Terribly sorry that this sounds like homework, or lazy. Wasn't intended to. I'm always careful to specify "a bit of advice or direction", in the hopes that the person reading it will realize that, though the problem to them seems trivial, for one reason or another I know what I'm doing and just need a bit of a boost in the right direction. As I've been looking at it, it seemed a bit complicated - probably because I'm approaching this with the Old mindset of the web, where I would have to maintain my own state, etc., and didn't have the framework here to help me. Now that I've done a bit more reading, I realize that the Form Wizard stuff will probably be exactly what I need, I'll just have to create the appropriate forms for each model, and decide what order to place things. I think part of my over-complicating the issue for myself was that I'm imagining too many user interface details during the thought-process, instead of focusing on the problem solely at the back-end. Here's a specific problem that I don't know how to approach: On the first form, the user chooses the Date and meta-details for an Event (name/description). On the second form, the user should be prompted to select an existing Venue where the Event will take place. At this point, I would like the user to be able to create a new Venue if necessary. Obviously, the New Venue form will validate the required meta-information for a Venue. My problem: I hate pop-ups. And, as far as I can tell, the default way (as-in, the way Django Admin does it) to add a model on the fly is via a pop-up. Aside from that, I guess I could dynamically add 'New Venue' forms to the current form page, but in that case, I have no idea how they should be validated/handled when attempting to move to the next page. Can the Form Wizard handle this type of branching-and-returning to the last place in the form, or should I just attempt to tackle this kind of thing myself? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
