I am just banging my head against the wall and making no progress with
this issue.
I am trying to create a view that nests forms of related models. I had
thought that inlineformset_factory would do the trick, but I clearly
don't understand something.
Assume I have the following models:
<snip>
class Author(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
class Book(models.Model):
author = models.ForeignKey(Author)
title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
</snip>
And the following forms:
<snip>
class AuthorForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Author
class BookForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Book
BookInlineFormSet = inlineformset_factory(Author, Book)
</snip>
Now assume I want to create a view that lets me create a new books,
along with a new author. According to various documentation, I ought to
do something a bit like this:
<snip>
def new_author(request):
authorForm = AuthorForm()
author = Author() # an empty author
bookFormSet = BookInlineFormSet(instance=author) # since author is
empty, shouldn't this contain empty forms?
return render_to_response("new_author.html", {"formset" : bookFormSet, })
</snip>
But all I get is a set of fields belonging to the BookForm ("title") and
nothing from the AuthorForm ("name").
Any advice?
Thanks for your help.
