I've been playing around with newforms (with a custom form) and I was
just wondering if anyone else has run into the same situation and I'm
curious as to what solutions others have come up with. Basically, I
just want to edit an instance and I've been consistently writing the
following piece of code in my edit views.
if request.method == 'POST':
# Fill in custom form with request post data
form = CustomForm(data = request.POST.copy())
if form.is_valid():
instance = get_object_or_404(InstanceClass, pk =
request["object_id"])
for key in form.clean_data:
instance.__setattr__(key, form.clean_data[key])
instance.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect(instance.get_absolute_url())
Fairly straightforward, if it's a POST, fill in the custom form with
the data. If the data validates, retrieve the instance object the
form refers to, and overwrite data from the form into the instance,
then update.
I'm just wondering if this what others have been doing? Seems cludgy
to me. :)
Thanks,
Ryan
