Very good hint, urukay! I was a bit scared to use forms.Form because I
didn't know how to do it. But it was straight forward and works like a
charm! I'm getting my data saved working with two differend models.
Just awesome :-).
One last thing there (and after that I will clean up my code and write
a blog article about it to save others some headache [but even if the
last days were a bit frustrating sometimes, I have to admit that it
definitely was good for my understanding of python and django]). Ok
getting to the "problem" (not even slightly comparable to my previous
problems): When the user visites his profile page the data from the
database should be already filled in. How would I do this? Probably
this will be quite easy. Hopefully the two models to get the pre-fill
data from won't be a problem. And another small question: Do you know
a better way for getting the user object in the save method other than
the way I did (just passed it as an argument)?
Ok here is now my code that made it work:
>>> model <<<
class CustomUserProfile(models.Model):
GENDER_CHOICES = (
('-', _('not specified')),
('M', _('male')),
('F', _('female'))
)
user = models.ForeignKey(User, unique=True, editable=False)
birthdate = models.DateTimeField(_('birthdate'), blank=True)
gender = models.CharField(_('gender'), max_length=1,
choices=GENDER_CHOICES)
country = models.CharField(_('country'), max_length=30,
blank=True)
city = models.CharField(_('city'), max_length=30, blank=True)
def get_absolute_url(self):
return ('profiles_profile_detail', (), { 'username':
self.user.username })
get_absolute_url = models.permalink(get_absolute_url)
>>> form <<<
class CustomUserForm(forms.Form):
first_name = forms.CharField(required=False)
last_name = forms.CharField(required=False)
gender = forms.CharField(
label = _('Gender'),
widget = forms.Select
(choices=CustomUserProfile.GENDER_CHOICES))
birthdate = forms.DateField(required=False)
country = forms.CharField(required=False)
city = forms.CharField(required=False)
def save(self, user):
user_obj = User.objects.get(pk=user.id)
user_obj.first_name = self.cleaned_data['first_name']
user_obj.last_name = self.cleaned_data['last_name']
try:
profile_obj = user.get_profile()
except ObjectDoesNotExist:
profile_obj = CustomUserProfile()
profile_obj.user = user
profile_obj.birthdate = self.cleaned_data['birthdate']
profile_obj.gender = self.cleaned_data['gender']
profile_obj.country = self.cleaned_data['country']
profile_obj.city = self.cleaned_data['city']
profile_obj.save()
user_obj.save()
>>> view <<<
def edit_profile(request, form_class=CustomUserForm,
success_url="/profiles/edit/complete/"):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = form_class(data=request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save(user=request.user)
return HttpResponseRedirect(success_url)
else:
form = form_class()
return render_to_response("profiles/edit_profile.html",
{'form':form},
context_instance=RequestContext(request))
I hope that code is readable enough to get it :-).
