Hi! wondering if someone could point me in the right
direction with this one:
I'm trying to populate fields in a form with data from database:
i.e. suppose I've this model:
-- models.py --
class Book(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
pages = models.IntegerField()
author = models.ForeignKey(Author)
price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=5, decimal_places=2)
I create a form with all books and checkbox for each one that let's
the user
select one or more book and calculate a total price.
If I’ve understood correctly I need a forms.py like the following to
generate
<checkbox> with differents "id"
-- forms.py --
class BookForm(forms.Form):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(BookForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
books = Book.objects.all()
for item in books:
fieldname = '%s' % item.pk
self.fields[fieldname] = forms.BooleanField
(required=False)
Finally, this is the problem: How I can get book info like "title",
"price" etc. and
show their in the template?
(This is the template, it doesn't work but it reflects what I'd like)
<form action="." method="POST">
{% for field in form %}
Book title: {{how I can get the title?}} - Price {{how I can get
the price?} - select it: {{field}}
<br/>
{% endfor %}
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Calculate" />
</form>
