Re: Complex form for a newbie with ImageField and ForeignField
You could replace in the view:
if form_upload.is_valid():
form_upload.save()
# with this:
if form_upload.is_valid():
form_upload.user = request.user
form_upload.save()
You may also want to not display the user field in the form. You can do it
by defining an 'exclude' Meta class attribute for the ModelForm, as done
below. I believe you can also hide a field in the form by marking it
"editable=False" in its model's field definition.
class FormUpload(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = ModelName
exclude = ('user',)

Complex form for a newbie with ImageField and ForeignField
I'm using django 1.02, Ubuntu 9.04, python 2.6.2 Issue: I am creating a simple application that allows users to upload images. I'm using the User from django.contrib.auth.models to manage my users. For the image class, i have a ForeignKey to the user and a ImageField to store my images My application works perfectly, except that: when the user uploads images, the images will be linked to the user himself. However, on the upload form, i have a option selection box where all the usernames are selectable. How do i fix the views.py, models.py such that the user can only upload images using his own username and at the same time, without having to select his username from the dropdown selection box? The following is my code: http://dpaste.com/66944/ Thank you in advance. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
