Hi everyone, Have run into either a bug or a lack of documentation, and wanted to see the consensus here before posting a ticket.
When using a Model with an string foreign key (ie. for a second model that appears after the referencing model), there's no way to make a modelform work if it's placed before the second model. For example, from django.db import models from django.forms import ModelForm class Foo(models.Model): bars = models.ForeignKey('Bar') class FooForm(ModelForm): class Meta: model = Foo class Bar(models.Model): ibbity = models.CharField(max_length=255) Will error with "AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute '_meta'" However, this will work perfectly fine: class Foo(models.Model): bars = models.ForeignKey('Bar') class Bar(models.Model): ibbity = models.CharField(max_length=255) class FooForm(ModelForm): class Meta: model = Foo Why this doesn't work makes sense to me, but it seems like it's either missing in the docs (I couldn't find anything on this effect), or a bug (if abstracted keys are ok for Foo, that ok should carry over to FooForm). Thoughts? Thanks, Steven --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
