Hello!
For example I have:
class ContactForm(forms.Form):
def __init__(self, foo, *args, **kwargs):
super(ContactForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['subject'] = forms.CharField()
self.fields['message'] = forms.CharField()
self.fields['sender'] = forms.EmailField()
if foo == 'boo':
self.fields['cc_myself'] = forms.BooleanField()
In a view I have standard Django form processing like this:
def contact(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = ContactForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
#processing the form here
else:
form = ContactForm('boo')
return render_to_response('base_contact.html', {
'form': form,
})
But It seems that binding and validation doesn't work if I have custom
__init__ method with an additional parameter.
The form never is bound.
After submitting the form I try the next in my debug probe:
>>> print request.method
POST
>>> print request.POST
<QueryDict: {u'cc_myself': [u'on'], u'message': [u'I am here'],
u'sender': [u'[email protected]'], u'subject': [u'Hello']}>
>>> form = ContactForm(request.POST) #I am trying to bind data to form
>>> print form.is_bound #but it doesn't work
False
>>> print form.is_valid() #so form isn't valid
False
>>>
So my question: what I am doing wrong when trying to override __init__
method?
And one more... If I delete additional parameter in __init__
definition then everything is ok:
class ContactForm(forms.Form):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(ContactForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['subject'] = forms.CharField()
self.fields['message'] = forms.CharField()
self.fields['sender'] = forms.EmailField()
self.fields['cc_myself'] = forms.BooleanField()
>>> print request.method
POST
>>> print request.POST
<QueryDict: {u'cc_myself': [u'on'], u'message': [u'I am here again'],
u'sender': [u'[email protected]'], u'subject': [u'Hi again']}>
>>> form = ContactForm(request.POST)
>>> print form.is_bound
True
>>> print form.is_valid()
True
So, please, help me resolve this problem!
With regards,
Max.
