Hi,
Have hit a huge roadblock trying to implement a custom, dynamic form into
my django project. Although I am more familiar with using ModelForms, I
need to use BaseForm to work with the structure I already have in place.
I have a dictionary of objects inside of my Model 'Photographer' that I am
trying to pass into my form. The objects from 'Photographer' will be a drop
down option for the user to select from, then will become part of an
instance of another model 'A' after the user submits the form. I cannot
figure out how to include the objects from 'Photographer' into my form,
given the following form structure:
class AForm(BaseForm):
def __init__(self, data=None, files=None, instance=None,
auto_id='id_%s',
prefix=None, initial=None, error_class=ErrorList,
label_suffix=':', empty_permitted=False):
if not instance:
raise NotImplementedError("Instance must be provided")
self.instance = instance
object_data = self.instance.fields_dict()
self.declared_fields = SortedDict()
self.base_fields = fields_for_a(self.instance)
# if initial was provided, it should override the values from
instance
if initial is not None:
object_data.update(initial)
BaseForm.__init__(self, data, files, auto_id, prefix,
object_data,
error_class, label_suffix, empty_permitted)
cleaned_data = self.cleaned_data
# save fieldvalues for self.instance
fields = field_list(self.instance)
for field in fields:
if field.enable_wysiwyg:
value = unicode(strip(cleaned_data[field.name]))
else:
value = unicode(cleaned_data[field.name])
return self.instance
For a more full representation of the problem in general, including all of
the models and a lot of the view code, please see my stack overflow
question:

I cannot thank you enough for any advice given. I have been struggling with
this issue for over a month, sadly. I appreciate any commentary.
Thank you!
