In a model I feed a contenttype form field some initial data to choose from.
class MenuItem(models.Model): CONTENT_TYPE_CHOICES = tuple(get_available_content()) content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType, choices=CONTENT_TYPE_CHOICES) The data is provided using the folowing function which returns a tuple for every stored (in this case) Poll in the form of 13:xxx where xxx is the poll_id. Just before saving the data I split the two parts in content_type_id and content_id. Then I want to hand them over to the corresponding values. This way it must be possible to add some kind of menu_app to django which works within the admin interface. def get_available_content(): available_content_list = [('13','testpoll')] from mysite.polls.models import Poll polls_list = Poll.objects.all().order_by('-question') for poll in polls_list: key = '13:%s' % poll.id caption = poll.question poll_tup = ( key, caption ) available_content_list.append(poll_tup) return available_content_list The only thing I can't get working is setting the new value befor saving content_type_id, object_id = self.content_type_id.split(':', 1) self.content_type.id = int(content_type_id) self.object_id = int(object_id) Maybe someone has an idea??? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
