Re: How to pass object *and* subobjects to FormWrapper?
well, I might be wrong here, but the custom manipulator doesn´t have any data - it´s there for handling the custom form. to prefill the form you have to *get* the data and therefore you have to use a ChangeManipulator. patrick Am 20.09.2006 um 09:54 schrieb Sean Schertell: > > Thank Patrick but I'm using a *custom* manipulator so my manipulator > doesn't have those attributes. > > Sean > > > On Sep 20, 2006, at 4:39 PM, patrickk wrote: > >> >> not sure if this will solve the problem, but according to the >> documentation you should use >> 1. manipulator = Place.ChangeManipulator(place_id) >> 2. place = manipulator.original_object >> 3. new_data = manipulator.flatten_data() >> >> nr. 3 has been changed in the docs recently: >> see http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/forms/#using-the- >> changemanipulator >> >> patrick >> >> >> Am 20.09.2006 um 08:03 schrieb Sean Schertell: >> >>> >>> Using a custom manipulator, I'm trying to populate my form with >>> existing data.

Thank Patrick but I'm using a *custom* manipulator so my manipulator doesn't have those attributes.

Re: How to pass object *and* subobjects to FormWrapper?
not sure if this will solve the problem, but according to the documentation you should use 1. manipulator = Place.ChangeManipulator(place_id) 2. place = manipulator.original_object 3. new_data = manipulator.flatten_data() nr. 3 has been changed in the docs recently: see http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/forms/#using-the- changemanipulator patrick Am 20.09.2006 um 08:03 schrieb Sean Schertell: > > Using a custom manipulator, I'm trying to populate my form with > existing data.

How to pass object *and* subobjects to FormWrapper?
Using a custom manipulator, I'm trying to populate my form with existing data. But I can't get the data from the FK tables to show up. Here's a simplified example: Group name Member first_name last_name So let's say a Group can only have up to 6 members. And I have a form that lets you add a group and up to 6 members all in one go. My add form works fine. And my edit form works to the point of populating the group -- but not the members. Here's basically what I'm doing to get the data into the form: In my custom GroupManipulator, I fetch the data like this: self.original = Group.objects.get(id=group_id) Then in my edit_group view, I do this: new_data = manipulator.original.__dict__ And pass new_data to a FormWrapper as normal. Like I said, this all works perfectly except that the members of my edit form are blank. How can I pull in subobjects along with the parent object and pass it to the FormWrapper? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
