Hello,
I have searched high and low and have not been able to find a way to
get the form errors to display the label/verbose_name. As of now the
{{ GeneralForm.errors }} prints a <ul> of the field name and errors
listed for the field. This output is fine but I would like the label/
verbose_name to be displayed and not the name of the DB field.
Here is my current model:
class Generic(models.Model):
CaseNumber = models.CharField(verbose_name='Case Number',
maxlength=50)
User = models.ForeignKey(User, editable=False)
Fname = models.CharField(verbose_name='First Name', maxlength=100,
null=True, blank=True)
Lname = models.CharField(verbose_name='Last Name', maxlength=100,
null=True, blank=True)
Mname = models.CharField(verbose_name='Middle Name', maxlength=100,
null=True, blank=True)
View:
def generic_form(Request, CaseID = 0):
data_content = {}
data_content['CaseID'] = CaseID
if CaseID == 0:
oGenericForm = form_for_model(Generic,
formfield_callback=generic_callback)
else:
oGeneric = Generic.objects.get(id=CaseID)
oGenericForm = form_for_instance(oGeneric,
formfield_callback=generic_callback)
if Request.method == 'POST':
if Request.POST.has_key('frmSaveGeneral'):
oForm = oGenericForm(Request.POST)
if oForm.is_valid():
oGeneric = oForm.save(commit=False)
if CaseID == 0:
oGeneric.User_id = Request.user.id
Request.user.message_set.create(message="The new case was
sucessfully saved.")
oGeneric.save()
return
HttpResponseRedirect('/system/case/%i/' % oGeneric.id)
else:
Request.user.message_set.create(message="The case details were
sucessfully saved.")
oGeneric.save()
else:
oForm = oGenericForm()
else:
oForm = oGenericForm()
data_content['GeneralForm'] = oForm
return render_to_response('system/case/general.htm', data_content,
context_instance=RequestContext(Request))
Template (small section):
{% if messages %}
{% for message in messages %}
<div id="message_good">{{ message }}</div>
{% endfor %}
{% else %}
{% if GeneralForm.errors %}
<div id="message_bad">
The following error occurred:
{{ GeneralForm.errors }}
</div>
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
Any ideas would be most appreciated.
