I am pretty new to Django - new enough to be developing my first Django app
on 1.3. So, I am basing all my work on class-based generic views, and have
never used the older generic view functions.
A problem I have is the lack of examples and documentation on the new
class-based generic views.
My current problem is that I am trying to build some forms based on models.
I am not using Django Forms (ModelForm), but rather CreateView. CreateView
gets me almost there, but I can't find any documentation on (1) how to
exclude fields, and (2) how to fix a value for a field.
My class is like so:
class CreateCampaignView(CreateView):
model = Campaign
template_name = "forms/create.html"
I tried exclude from ModelForms, like this:
class CreateCampaignView(UserAccountCreateView):
model = Campaign
template_name = "forms/create.html"
exclude = ('user', 'name', 'content_inlined')
and that doesn't work. Is there another way to exclude fields using
CreateView?
and, one of my excluded fields, "user", also needs to get the value of
self.request.user
I tried again here to apply the docs from ModelForms here for CreateView,
but it doesn't work.
Some might suggest I use Django Forms - it is a reasonable suggestion of
course. But, being new, I don't have any "view legacy" and I just like the
idea of working with class-based generic views where possible.
thanks.
