So your model is like:
class Folder(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
# yadda yadda
And you want to give the user a form to sort an object into one of
their own folders. So what you do is make a form like this:
class ObjectSortForm(forms.Form):
folder = models.ModelChoiceField(Folder.objects.all())
But, if your view, you don't actually want Folder.objects.all() - you
want user.folder_set.all(). So, you have to set the
form.fields['folder'].queryset attribute like this in your view:
def my_view(request):
if request.method=="POST":
# yadda yadda form handling...
else:
form = ObjectSortForm()
form.fields['folder'].queryset = request.user.folder_set.all()
# etc etc...
return render_to_response("my_template.html", dict(form=form))
Unfortunately, the docs are somewhat incomplete - they only explain
how to set the initial queryset. I've been meaning to write up some
documentation explaining the .queryset attribute, so thanks for
spurring some action :)
