Re: populating database model with form model
yes, i wanted all the new features and enhancements from 1.0 over 0.96, so i package my own django 1.0 version in the project. i have tried to use google's djangoforms as well as django.form and using either one, i get the same errors. i do appreciate all you trying to help me with this. i just wish i knew enough to figure it out without bothering you guys.

Re: populating database model with form model
thanks for trying to help.
app engine models use .put() instead of .save() and according to
guido, there is very little difference between the two.
I have pasted models.py and search.py so you can see the two. maybe
that will help.
paste url: http://dpaste.com/91258/
the django app i'm bulding here is suppose to be an "orbitz
equivalent" for my software engineering class. we chose to use django
and app engine for the free hosting and a chance to use something we
had only read about (django).

populating database model with form model
Hi, i wasn't sure whether i should ask this here or on the google app
engine list.
I really have two problems. The first is, if i have a form that i
populate choices in a choicefield using entries in the database, it
only updates once. Every time after the first time it just uses the
same vales it found before, even if i go add more items to the
dateabase. I have tried deleting all browser cache.
I have a datastore model (reason for being unsure) that i am trying to
load with information submitted through a django model form. For a
long time, when i would submit the form i would get an error
initialize the datastore model using named arguments in the
constructor. it would say:
'unicode' object has no attribute 'is_saved'
I would send these values using:
form = SearchForm(request.POST)
MyModel(
field_name = form.cleaned_data.get('field_name', 'default'),
bool_field_name = form.cleaned_data.get('bool_field_name', False)
)
I would get this error even if i tried to pass values directly, like:
MyModel(field_name="value", bool_field_name=True)
Lately, though, the page has just been always failing when checking
is_valid() on the form. (always returns False)
I am a fairly novice django user, and a fairly novice app engine user.
I have read the djangobook many times, and i have googled this problem
to death. If anyone has any suggestions or advice or anything that
might help me, please reply. I would greatly appreciate it.
