+1 on "Roll your own" solution. Complicated M2Ms and Django Forms aren't always the cleanest pair of features to work with when combined. On Fri, Aug 17, 2012 at 9:36 AM, houmie wrote: > Thanks Melvyn, > > To be honest I would be willing to purchase a widget if there was one.

Thanks Melvyn, To be honest I would be willing to purchase a widget if there was one. iw ill look into the list you have sent me. On another note, Simone mentioned to extend the Formset in order to run my own dropdown solution. I was just looking at the modelformset_factory class and -

Thanks Melvyn, Yes, I know about overriding a widget. I could override a Charfield with a TextArea. For simple stuff it makes sense. Against which widget do I override the existing M2M widget though? On 17/08/12 01:01, Melvyn Sopacua wrote: On 17-8-2012 1:05, Houman wrote: What I am

Thanks Thomas. Just trying to apply the DropDownMultiple Widget that you have suggested. I have followed the instruction: |class MyForm(forms.ModelForm): categories = forms.Field(widget=DropDownMultiple) def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):

Hi xavier, Apologies for the confusion. What I am trying to achieve would be deal type having a m2m relationship to sales items. I don't like the m2m widget, so I thought I use formsets with dropdowns in them. The idea is good, somce the user would choose how many dropdowns he wants and

Hi Xavier, This wasn't the whole story. I actually have a DealType class: |class DealType(models.Model): deal_name= models.CharField(max_length=40) sales_item= models.ManyToManyField(SalesItem) price= models.DecimalField(decimal_places=2) | DealType class has a

Hi, I'm not sure I understood what you're trying to do. If you want to display all the SaleItem linked to a company in a formset, then inlines are what you're looking for. You'll find the documentation about them there:

The question might seem too simplistic, but it seems formsets can only work with forms that have simple type fields such as charfield. But has anyone tried to use a form with a dropdown and use that form to instantiate a formset? Let me give you an example why this fails: *Model:* class
