I have an inline model formset, and I'd like to make fields non-editable if those fields already have values when the page is loaded. If the user clicks an "Edit" button on that row, it would become editable and (using JavaScript) I would replace the original widgets with editable ones. I'd like to do something like this when loading t...
In my view I create a formset of photos belonging to a specific article, this works brilliantly, and I am able to render and process the forms. However for the image field I would like to display the already uploaded image. Normally I would access the path through the instance form.instance.image.get_thumbnail_url however that doesn't wo...
I display a formset, which has Forms populated by the objects returned by a queryset. The problem is that before the user submits items are modified or added, such that the queryset returns objects in a different order. The formset then associates each form with the wrong object, users report that their data is shifting down by 1 row. Is...

There are a lot of complex forms in my project and I keep getting the feeling that I could be coding them much more elegantly and simply. So my question is what are some good apps and practices that might help me? Specifically, I'm thinking about situations when I need to do stuff like: edit/add more than one object via one form (examp...

Hi, How can I update an object from a formset using request.POST? Here is my code and my problem is that this always creates a new PhoneNumber object. But I want to update the old PhoneNumber object. def contact_detail(request, contact_id): contact = get_object_or_404(Contact, pk=contact_id) phone_number_list = PhoneNumber.ob...
I've got an inline formset and I would like to exclude some model objects from being displayed in the formset.

I wonder if it is possible somehow to filter the list of B o...

I need to use multiple formsets using custom forms for a single view. I understand that you need to prefix the formsets so that they don't conflict with each other. However, when I try to prefix the formsets, a ValidationError gets raised. The way I'm creating the formsets is by passing a list of forms to the view, then making a list of...
What's the Django way of presenting a formset horizontally, i.e. one row per form? The as_table method generates multiple forms vertically (with the labels). I need the form fields in table rows (one row per form) and the labels should be on top. I don't see anything out of the box. Is this discouraged for some reason? I should clari...

I want to create a formset that only allows users ...

These formsets are exhibiting exactly the opposite behavior that I want. My view is set up like this: def post(request): # TODO: handle vehicle formset VehicleFormSetFactory = formset_factory(VehicleForm, extra=1) if request.POST: vehicles_formset = VehicleFormSetFactory(request.POST) else: vehicles_formset ...
