Ok, I found some useful info posted by Malcolm:
"Form.errors is an ErrorDict (from newforms.util), which maps field
names
to ErrorList instances. It is important to use ErrorList classes as
the
values in that dictionary, because they know how to display themselves
properly.
I'm not really alongside any plan to do form-specific error messages
in
Form.clean() -- almost by definition, it's for errors that apply to
more
than one field simultaneously -- but if you want to tweak self.errors,
you now have the knowledge. "
I'm not really sure how to process this list in the template.. or how
it gets stored for the correct field. Suppose I have this code in
clean():
rc = 0
if 'captcha' in self.cleaned_data:
if not self.cleaned_data['imghash'] == sha.new(SALT
+self.cleaned_data['captcha']).hexdigest():
error_list.append("Captcha error!")
rc = 1
raise forms.ValidationError(_(u'CAPTCHA error!'))
if 'password1' in self.cleaned_data and 'password2' in
self.cleaned_data:
if self.cleaned_data['password1'] !=
self.cleaned_data['password2']:
error_list.append("Password mismatch!")
rc = 1
raise forms.ValidationError(_(u'You must type the same
password each time'))
if rc:
raise forms.ValidationError(error_list)
return self.cleaned_data
How does this function know to associate 'Captcha error' with
captcha ? and how do I reference it in the template?
Thanks.
