All you need to do is write a clean_username() method that does the validation you need. You can do any sort of custom checking on a form field that you like by writing such a method. The documentation for this is at http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/validation/ Regards, Malcolm --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Validating two forms in one
Hello all, I have two models called User and Responsible. When I add a Responsible automatically a User is added. I have only one form to add a User and a Responsible. class NewUserResponsibleForm(forms.Form): username = forms.CharField(max_length=30) password = forms.CharField(max_length=20, widget=forms.PasswordInput()) confirm_password = forms.CharField(max_length=20, widget=forms.PasswordInput()) email = forms.EmailField(max_length=30) name = forms.CharField(max_length=64) responsible_boss = forms.BooleanField(required=False) With the username and the password a User will be created. With the others fields a Responsible will be created. The problem is that I want to check that the username is unique and if it is not, show the error in this form. If I check this form with is_valid() the username is not checked against User and I can't use the attribute unique=True in forms.Form. I have tried gathering the info with this form and then passing the data to: class UserForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = User and the checking this form with is_valid(). But now the error is in that form and not in NewUserResponsibleForm that is the form I show. I would like to pass the errors from UserForm to NewUserResponsibleForm or some way of doing what I'm trying. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
