Hi, althought I love django, I don't like what it does with ForeignKey in ModelForms - I don't find HTML's select widget suitable for selecting when there are dozens or even hundreds related records to select from.
In the form template I'm rendering the field as_hidden, and there's a script which displays jQueryUI dialog with the searchable grid. When closing the dialog, the selected row's id is set as a value of the hidden field, and row's label is displayed in the placeholder. This works for the Create view, but should work also for Update view - but I don't know how to access the field's model in the widget's render method. def render(value, ...) obj = FooModel.objects.get(pk = value) return '<input type="hidden" value="%d"/> %s' % (value, str(obj)) that would work of course, but I need it to be more generic- to handle any type of related model, not just only FooModel any tips? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
