Hi,
I use something similar to this. What I did was override the __init__
to take extra arguments with the instances it's editing and store them
for future use.
so it would look something like this:
class MyForm(forms.Form):
def __init__(self, objects=[], *args, **kwargs):
super(Form, self).__init__( *args, **kwargs )
self.objects = objects
for o in self.objects:
add some fields
def save( self ):
for o in self.objects:
get data from fields and call save()
in some cases I also add some empty "lines" for new objects:
class MyBetterForm(forms.Form):
def __init__(self, objects=[], *args, **kwargs):
super(Form, self).__init__( *args, **kwargs )
self.objects = objects
for o in self.objects:
add some fields
for i in range(4):
add some more fields
def save( self ):
for o in self.objects:
get data from fields and call save()
for i in range(4):
create some new objects
