I have extended Django User model (site members as opposed to users) and
I want to approve them before they can use all site features. Below is
my model:
class Member(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
...
is_approved - models.NullBooleanField(default = False)
...
Now, I want members to use site forms (not admin) to edit their profile
details. Obviously, I don't want them to approve themselves, so I use
hidden input value in my form:
<input type="hidden" id="id_is_approved" name="is_approved" value="{{
object.is_approved }}" />
However, whenever a member (even approved member) saves their profile,
the value of "is_approved" is set to NULL.
By the way, I'm using generic views. I looked at the admin interface
source for this model type of input code and found this:
<label for="id_is_approved">Approved?:</label>
<select id="id_is_approved" class="vNullBooleanField"
name="is_approved" size="1">
<option value="1">Unknown</option>
<option value="2">Yes</option>
<option value="3">No</option>
</select>
I assume that the framework translates this into appropriate values
before saving the record and it works fine using admin interface.
When I looked at the value of {{ object.is_approved }} in my template,
the value for approved member is "1", and when that profile is saved,
the value of is_approved changes to NULL.
What is the proper way of handling this type of situation?
