Hey there,
Try this:
In your forms.py create a field such as this
message = forms.ChoiceField(label='Event Type', choices=EVENT_TYPE_CHOICES)
That will create a dropdown.
Also, I think that the first thing in the tuple is a value and shouldn't
have a space, so change:
EVENT_TYPE_CHOICES = (('Event Created', 'EventCreated'),('Event Changed',
'EventChanged'),)
to:
EVENT_TYPE_CHOICES = (('event_created', 'Event Created'),('event_changed',
'Event Changed'),)
See if that works for you.
Cheers,
-m
message = models.CharField("Event Type", max_length=12,
> > choices=EVENT_TYPE_CHOICES)
