I'm certain I'm doing something really obviously stupid, but I've been trying to figure it out for a few hours now and nothing is jumping out at me. I'm using a ModelForm so I can expose a few fields from a model for editing. 2x ImageField, 1x TextField. The Form is processed and the TextField works. The two ImageFields do not work and ...

I have a modelform which has one field that is a ForeignKey value to a model which as 40,000 rows. The default modelform tries to create a select box with 40,000 options, which, to say the least is not ideal. Even more so when this modelform is used in a formset factory! In the admin, this is easiely avoidable by using "raw_id_fields", ...
In a Django ModelForm, you can change the widget type of a field like so: class EntryForm(ModelForm): entity = forms.CharField() class Meta: model = Entry I can easily create a modelformset from the same model like so: EntryFormSet = modelformset_factory(Entry) But is there a way to include the input field type ch...
I get data in from POST and validate it via this standard snippet: entry_formset = EntryFormSet(request.POST, request.FILES, prefix='entries') if entry_formset.is_valid(): .... The EntryFormSet modelform overrides a foreign key field widget to present a text field. That way, the user can enter an existing key (suggested via an Aja...
I have a Model Formset that should take files sent via POST and add them to the database. However, the form includes the IDs of files already in the database, which leads to information being overwritten. For example, the HTML output for the form looks like this: <label for="id_files-0-theFile">File:</label> <input type="file" nam...
hi i'm experimenting with django and the builtin admin interface. I basically want to have a field that is a drop down in the admin UI. The drop down choices should be all the directories available in a specified directory.

Simply, I write: # forms.py class NoteForm(ModelForm): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super(NoteForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) #add attributes to html-field-tag: self.fields['content'].widget.attrs['rows'] = 3 self.fields['title'].widget.attrs['size'] = 20 class Meta: model = Note fields = ('title'...
In a custom Form, how does one validate a Model's field's uniqueness (i.e., has unique=True set)? I know that django's ModelForm automatically performs a validate_unique() function that is called within the BaseModelForm's clean() method -- so, when using ModelForm, this will be handled correctly (as it is in the Admin). However, I a...
The below code removes certain values from a drop down menu. It works fine but I want to remove the value if the user lacks certain permissions. How can I access request.user in the ModelForm's constructor? Or is there a better way to accomplish what I am trying to do? class AnnouncementModelForm(forms.ModelForm): def __init__(sel...

Howdy - I've written a very simple app to accept job applications including a resume upload. Running the bundled server for development locally, I can successfully upload files via the web form on the front end and the admin interface. Running it on the remote server (Apache with mod_python) I can successfully upload files via the admin...
If think my question is pretty obvious and almost every developer working with UserProfile should be able to answer it. However, I could not find any help on the django documentation or in the Django Book. When you want to do a UserProfile form in with Django Forms, you'd like to modify the profile fields as well as some User field. B...

I have a set of forms (lets say formA,formB,formC) on a page that collects data and exposes different fields depending on which form is used.
