Hi,
I have a newform that works as intended. I want to add admin
functionality such that within the same view I can handle creation of
a newform or passing back a model's values to the template for
editing. This is supposed to be simple with newforms but I'm stuck,
hoping for help.
Here is my simplified code:
def blog_post(request, id=None):
instance = None
if id is not None and id != "":
instance = BlogEntry.objects.get(id)
if request.method == 'POST':
form = jacey_forms.BlogEntryForm(request.POST, instance=instance)
if form.is_valid():
new_blog_entry = form.save(commit=False)
...do some stuff
new_blog_entry = form.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/')
else:
form = jacey_forms.BlogEntryForm(instance=instance)
return render_to_response('base_post.html', {'form' : form})
--------
By all accounts this should work. But I have no idea how to fill out
my html form with the values of the model that already exists. Any
help is appreciated.
