Cathy this is absolutely possible. Here is an example from one of my
projects...
First here is the form:
---------- cut here ----------
class AddEditContactPhoneForm(forms.Form):
employee_id = forms.ChoiceField(label='Employee', required=False)
phone_number = PhoneNumberField(label='Phone Number')
extension = forms.CharField(max_length=8,required=False)
phone_type_id = forms.ChoiceField(label='Phone Type',
choices=[(c.id,c.description) for c in
PhoneNumberType.objects.all()] )
def __init__(self, data=None, auto_id='id_%s', prefix=None,
employee_list={}):
super( AddEditContactPhoneForm,
self ).__init__( data,auto_id,prefix )
self.fields['employee_id'] =
forms.ChoiceField(label='Employee', required=False,
choices = [('','Select')] + [(c.id,"%s, %s (%s)" %
(c.last_name,c.first_name,c.title)) for c in employee_list] )
---------- cut here ----------
And here is a view that uses it:
---------- cut here ----------
@login_required
def customer_phone_numbers_detail(request,customer_id,object_id):
"""
Editing form for a phone number
customer_id is the Customer.id
object_id is the ContactPhone.id of the phone number to edit or 0
for new phone number
"""
customer = Customer.objects.get(id=int(customer_id))
employees = Employee.objects.filter(customer=customer,active=True)
object_id = int(object_id)
error_message = None
if request.method == "POST":
edit_form =
AddEditContactPhoneForm(request.POST,employee_list=employees)
if edit_form.is_valid():
obj = ContactPhone(**edit_form.clean_data)
if object_id > 0 : obj.id = object_id
obj.customer = customer
obj.save()
object_id=obj.id
elif object_id > 0:
obj = ContactPhone.objects.get(id=object_id)
edit_form =
AddEditContactPhoneForm(obj.__dict__,employee_list=employees)
else:
edit_form = AddEditContactPhoneForm(employee_list=employees)
return render_to_response("kindledb/
customer_phone_numbers_detail.html",
{"edit_form": edit_form, 'object_id': object_id,
'error_message': error_message, 'customer' : customer})
