How do I get the primary key after saving a ModelForm? After the form has been validated and saved, I would like to redirect the user to the contact_details view which requires the primary key of the contact. def contact_create(request): if request.method == 'POST': form = ContactForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(...
I have a CheckboxSelectMultiple field, why can't I iterate over the single choices? This doesn't work: {%for choice in form.travels.choices%} {{choice}} {%endfor%} Even specifying {{choice.0}} doesn't help, how could i do this? Thanks ...

I'm using Django 1.0.2. I've written a ModelForm backed by a Model. This model has a ForeignKey where blank=False. When Django generates HTML for this form it creates a select box with one option for each row in the table referenced by the ForeignKey. It also creates an option at the top of the list that has no value and displays as ...

I have a model which is essentially just a string (django.db.models.CharField). There will only be several instances of this model stored. How could I use those values as choices in a form? To illustrate, the model could be BlogTopic. I'd like to offer users the ability to choose one or several topics to subscribe to. I started writing...
The default django 1.0.2 ManyToManyField widget (a multi-select) is difficult to use when there are a lot of things in the select box. Is there another widget available that gives a comma separated list of id's in a textarea? If this is not available what do I need to do to write one, and have it show up on ModelForm.as_p() and in the...
I am a newbie to Django and web-development in general so be patient for maybe a very dumb question :) I have a form generated from a model and in this form I have about 20 checkboxes. Now they are aligned in one long column and it looks not very nice from a UI point of view. I'd like this column to be split in several ones but still ha...
Hi, I need to set the Django forms.ChoiceField to display the currency symbols. Since django forms escape all the HTML ASCII characters, I can't get the $ ( ) or the £ ( ) to display the currency symbol. <select id="id_currency" name="currency"> <option value="&#36;">$</option> <option value="&pound;">&...
I'm trying to prepopulate a ModelForm and an inlineformset_factory with an instance of a Model, BUT when the user submits the form, I need to create a new instance of the Model and it's related child records. Example Model: class Artist(models.Model): artist = models.CharField(max_length=100) class Song(models.Model): artist =...

I'm having trouble overriding a modelform save method. This is the error I'm receiving: Exception Type: TypeError Exception Value: save() got an unexpected keyword argument 'commit' My intentions are to have a form submit many values for 3 fields, to then create an object for each combination of those fields, and to save each of th...
I have two models in my Django application, for the purposes of storing search parameters used for some homology search programs: # models.py class Search(models.Model): """A class to represent search runs.""" program = models.CharField(max_length=20) results_file = models.FileField( upload_to=(SEARCH_RESULTS_DIR) ...
I have a form with a ModelMultipleChoiceField and it works like a charm. However, when I set widget=forms.RadioSelect the form validation always fails with the error message "Enter a list of values." As I said, it works perfectly well with the default widget, but not with the radio select widget. The POST request to validate the form ...
I am using rf['email'].errors As said in docs, I can use it to have array of errors. [str(e) for e in rf['email'].errors] #give me ["<django.utils.functional.__proxy__>"] If repr or str - it gives ul's or string of array. So it worked only when I used repr and eval together. But I think its stupid solution. eval(`rf['email'].e...
