Thanks for the reply... This is the kind of thing I am looking for. However I have tried this approach and I could not get it working exactly right. Along this line I have tried the following:
class MyForm(forms.Form): def __init__(self, extra_param=None, *args, **kwargs): self.extra_param = extra_param super(MyForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) def clean(self): # access your extra param with self.extra_param class TestFormWizard(FormWizard): extra_param = {} def get_form(self, step, data=None): """Override the get form to add the extra param. This is ugly IMO""" return self.form_list[step](self.extra_param, data, prefix=self.prefix_for_step(step), initial=self.initial.get(step, None)) def parse_params(self, request, *args, **kwargs): if request.method == 'POST': form = self.get_form(current_step, request.POST) if form.is_valid: self.extra_param.update(form.cleaned_data) Now this work in passing the data from the last form to the next...but there are some cases I need data from 2 or 3 forms ago and this does not seem to get passed (I feel this is from the web server recycling processes) On Oct 13, 6:29 pm, nabucosound <hecto...@gmail.com> wrote: > It is a common practice to pass extra parameters to the __init__ > function of the form and save them as properties of the object that > can be later on accessed by any method like the clean method: > > class MyForm(forms.Form): > > def __init__(self, extra_param=None, *args, **kwargs): > self.extra_param = extra_param > super(MyForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) > > def clean(self): > # access your extra param with self.extra_param > > I don't know if is this what you are looking for... > > H.http://nomadblue.com/ > > On Oct 13, 5:53 am, valhalla <rjkers...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > I am trying to figure out a pythonic way of passing data between the > > forms of a formwizard. > > I can do it with inital data but I need to access the data in the > > clean method of the form. > > > The only ways I can get working are really messy and wont scale > > easily. > > > Any suggestions out there? > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
