I'm following the official example on how to use Django forms from http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/djangoforms.html
Want to define st:state - AK:Alaska, AL=Alabama, etc. so that people can use "Alaska" instead of "AK" I want to store both st and state in the table for entries so I don't have to do a lookup later. So I want to present a pull-down with the list of states. On submit, look up the abbreviation for Alaska and store them both. I want to use the abbreviation because /state/dc looks like less cause for trouble down the road than /state/district%20of%20columbia >From the example, I don't understand how I can access the form variables. Seemed like StatesForm.state would work but it doesn't. class US_States(db.Model): st = db.StringProperty(required=True,multiline=False) state = db.StringProperty(required=True,multiline=False) class US_Info(db.Model): st = db.StringProperty(required=True,multiline=False) state = db.StringProperty(required=True,multiline=False) info = db.TextProperty class US_InfoForm(djangoforms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = US_Info class AddInfo(webapp.RequestHandler): def get(self): form = US_InfoForm() # original had self.response.out.write( US_InfoForm() ) self.response.out.write('<html><body>' ) self.response.out.write('<br> <a href="/">Home</a>') self.response.out.write(' > <a href="/states.html">States</ a><br>' ) self.response.out.write('<form method="POST" ' 'action="/add_plate/">' ) self.response.out.write('<table>') self.response.out.write(form ) self.response.out.write('</table>' '<input type="submit">' '</form></body></html>') query = db.GqlQuery("SELECT * FROM US_States WHERE state = : 1", form.state) # doesn't work --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
