Thanks to the fantastic inline model formsets in django I have a pretty advanced form with 4 inline formsets. In the template I display each formset in a tab. Everything works really slick but I would like to color a tab red if the formset in that tab has any validation errors at all. So I tried this: <div id="tabs"> <ul> <l...

I have a ManyToManyField that I want to present in a form, as a CheckboxSelectMultiple widget. Why don't any of these methods work? (See Attempt #1, #2 and #3 below.) According to everything I've read in the docs and on SO, at least one of them should work. But I still have a stubborn SelectMultiple widget that refuses to budge. from d...

So I can create all the necessary db fields in my models. I can create forms to access these models.

My goal is to have a formset that lists 5 versions of the same form. On submit the form should create the filled out forms in the DB. My issue is that the forms come repopulated with data. Which is bad. Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong? Models.py from django.db import models from django.contrib.auth.models import User PR...
I'm using an Ajax code for uploading files. Django takes good care of file uploads on ModelForms. Just writing form.save() would upload any file data in the header, manage creating the folders if needed and even rename the file if a duplicate already exists. Take this ModelForm which only has one filed named file for example: class Uplo...

Is there any way to access the property from the form / formset? If not, what's best practice for including extra "display" data in a djang...
What Django Does Django's Model Field "blank" attribute, and the way it gets negated and turned into the Form Field "required" attribute when you create a ModelForm, is pretty cool. It allows me to set the property on the model where it belongs, but have the "required" attribute available when handling a ModelForm created from it. Havin...
I'm working on a video management application where each video clip is associated with a single program-name and a single category-name, but programs and categories can be associated with multiple different videos. (This part is straight forward.) What's different is that the choices for category-names vary on a per program basis. For ...
I want to programatically modify the widget attributes of a field in a Django ModelForm's init() method. Thus far, I've tried the following def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super(MyForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) self.fields['my_checkbox'].widget_attrs(forms.CheckboxInput(attrs={'onclick':'return false;'})) Unfortun...
