Hi Daniel, Thank you very much for your reply. That cleared quite a lot of stuff for me. I was wondering if you have any links on how to populate models through the admin interface. I would like to have it editable from admin (makes it much easier to handle). If you have any links or ideas on how to do this please let me know.
I already setup the admin backend so that I can add the six different fields defined in the model (country, language, practice, profdesgn, sector and profession) <-- the manytomany fields in models. Thanks for your help! :) Daxal On Apr 9, 5:46 am, Daniel Roseman <dan...@roseman.org.uk> wrote: > On Apr 9, 9:42 am, Daxal <daxal.someone...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > Basically, I am starting to create a view called "cvdetails" and it is > > linked to "cvdetails.html" link for template. > > > The form is supposed to use is: > > > class cvForm(forms.Form): > > Language = > > forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(queryset=C.Language.objects.all()) > > ProfDesgn = > > forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(queryset=C.ProfDesgn.objects.all(), > > required=False) > > Practice = > > forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(queryset=C.Practice.objects.all(), > > required=False) > > Sector = > > forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(queryset=C.Sector.objects.all(), > > required=False) > > Profession = > > forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(queryset=C.Profession.objects.all(), > > required=False) > > Country = > > forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(queryset=C.Country.objects.all(), > > required=False) > > > and the model for this form is: > > > class ProfDesgn(models.Model): > > Name = models.CharField(max_length=15) > > def __unicode__(self): > > return self.Name > > > class Practice(models.Model): > > Name = models.CharField(max_length=50) > > def __unicode__(self): > > return self.Name > > > class Sector(models.Model): > > Name = models.CharField(max_length=30) > > def __unicode__(self): > > return self.Name > > > class Profession(models.Model): > > Name = models.CharField(max_length=80) > > def __unicode__(self): > > return self.Name > > > class Country(models.Model): > > Name = models.CharField(max_length=40) > > def __unicode__(self): > > return self.Name > > > class Language(models.Model): > > Language = models.CharField(max_length=30) > > def __unicode__(self): > > return self.Language > > > class cvdb(models.Model): > > user = models.ForeignKey(User) > > language_set = models.ManyToManyField(Language, > > db_table='cm_cvdb_language', verbose_name="languages") > > profdesgn_set = models.ManyToManyField(ProfDesgn, > > db_table='cm_cvdb_profdesgn', verbose_name="professional designation", > > blank=True) > > practice_set = models.ManyToManyField(Practice, > > db_table='cm_cvdb_practice', verbose_name="Practice", blank=True) > > sector_set = models.ManyToManyField(Sector, > > db_table='cm_cvdb_sector', verbose_name="Sector", blank=True) > > profession_set = models.ManyToManyField(Profession, > > db_table='cm_cvdb_profession', verbose_name="Profession", blank=True) > > country_set = models.ManyToManyField(Country, > > db_table='cm_cvdb_country', verbose_name="Country", blank=True) > > > Now I am wondering how do I start off the view for a > > modelmultiplechoice fields.
