Having derived from django.forms.URLField and django.models.URLField to
set up a form that can handle mailto URLs, I'm finding that the URL gets
mangled. Entering "mailto:[email protected]"; results in
"mailto://[email protected]";.
This was encountered while creating models for a Wagtail site. Wagtail
uses Django's models and form fields within its framework.
My modified URLFields:
{{{
from django import forms
from django.db import models
class ContactUrlFormField(forms.URLField):
default_validators = [
validators.URLValidator(schemes=['http', 'https', 'mailto',
'tel'])
]
class ContactUrlField(models.URLField):
default_validators = [
validators.URLValidator(schemes=['http', 'https', 'mailto',
'tel'])
]
def formfield(self, **kwargs):
return super().formfield(
**{
"form_class": ContactUrlFormField,
**kwargs,
}
)
}}}
NB. It would be great to have a way of defining which URL schemes are
allowed as an option in the model field and then have it picked up by the
form field automatically.
