They're intended to do these things in a dynamic way. See the unit tests in tests/modeltests/model_forms/models.py for examples. Hi Adrian, Thanks for the pointer. I haven't seen form_for_fields; I look forward to the unittests. One 'problem' I've found with form_for_model (and the auto manipulators back in the day) is that it's tricky to tweak a single field if necessary. My longstanding problem has been that I need to edit a many2many field but the other table will contain over 100,000 rows. This takes a while to load into the select field and isn't really that helpful. I've been using a text field and chopping up the input to get the foreign values. It's quite tricky to swap out the select field and add the validators (especially in a maintainable way). Therefore I whipped up the script to spew out the forms which I then tweak as appropriate (I hope Fred doesn't look at it; he'll take my license away for sure). I'll be cheeky and ask my inheritance question again if that's okay: is it possible for a Form to inherit from another. I'd like a form for admin users which adds extra fields. Is something like this possible: class JoeUserForm(forms.Form): name = forms.CharField() class AdminForm(JoeUserForm): give_pay_rise = forms.BooleanField() Thanks again for the reply, Felix --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

FormGen Script
ScaffoldScript is dead; long live FormGen! Using this script: http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/FormGenScript in this manner: python formGen.py -a MyApp -m Category will turn this model: class Category(models.Model): category = models.CharField(maxlength=50, unique=True) createdOn = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True) modifiedOn = models.DateField(auto_now=True) test = models.ManyToManyField(auth.User, verbose_name='This is a test field', related_name='test') test2 = models.OneToOneField(auth.User, verbose_name='test2', related_name='test2') Into this form: class CategoryForm(forms.Form): category = forms.CharField() createdon = forms.DateField() modifiedon = forms.DateField() test2 = forms.ChoiceField() this_is_a_test_field = forms.MultipleChoiceField() Not the greatest example but you get the idea. I've found it useful for when I need to tweak a couple of fields (which isn't easy without defining the whole form).
