Hi,
I have a form which contains some prefilled data and some to be filled
in by the user. I have no trouble getting the forms to be prefilled.
What I want is thatfor a GET request, if the form data pre exists,
then display it; if not, then show a blank text field .
For a post request, if the field is required and is not filled, then
show the error message. What I am getting is this that, when I call
the url ,
I automatically get a validation failure error message.
My code is as follows:
class EditSiteForm(forms.Form):
site_type = forms.ChoiceField(label = 'Type',
error_messages = {'required':'Please enter type'}, choices =
SITE_TYPE_CHOICES);
name = forms.CharField( max_length = 64, label = 'Name Of Site',
error_messages = {
'max_length' : 'The maximum permissible length is 64.'})
street = forms.CharField( max_length = 64, label = 'Street',
error_messages = {
'max_length' : 'The maximum permissible length is 64.'})
number = forms.IntegerField(label = 'Number',
error_messages = {
'max_value' : 'The maximum permissible length is 16.'},
min_value = 0, max_value = 9999999999999999)
postal_code = forms.CharField(max_length = 16, label = 'Postal
Code',
error_messages = {
'max_length' : 'The maximum permissible length is 16.'})
In my views.py
if request.method == 'POST':
form = EditSiteForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
# Get Cleaned data.
type = form.cleaned_data['type']
name = form.cleaned_data['name']
street = form.cleaned_data['street']
number = form.cleaned_data['number']
postal_code = form.cleaned_data['postal_code']
else:
# Get Request. Bind the EditSiteForm to the request.
# Setting up initial data.
initial_data = {'site_type' : site.site_type, 'name' :
site.name_address,
'street' : site.street, 'number' : site.number,
'postal_code' : site.postal_code}
form = EditSiteForm(initial_data)
return render_to_response('edit_site.html', {'site' : site, 'form' :
form})
My html page.
<!-- The form action is the current url. -->
<form action="{{site.network_id}}/edit/" method="post">
{{form.as_p}}
<input type = "submit" value = "submit" >
Is there anything I am doing wrong?
</form>
