So subclassing the generated form class does work, just type something like:
class MyForm(forms.form_for_model(MyModel)): my_field = forms.CharField() ... (Python is very interesting :) But there's a not-so-small catch: new fields defined in the subclass don't get added to the fields dictionary. It's easy to see why when looking at the code for form_for_model() and newforms.Form. Basically the fancy metaclass stuff that turns class fields into form fields isn't done when using form_for_model(), and form_for_model() only looks of the models fields. There are probably a few ways around this. One would be to programatically add fields to either the class returned by form_for_model() or the instance in question. This is probably the easiest, but least elegant way to do what you want. Another might be to create a metaclass similar to DeclarativeFieldsMetaclass that adds your class fields to the fields list already generated by form_for_model(). I'm not sure how to do this yet, but I'll try to figure it out. Yet another way would be to write your own version of form_for_model() that appends the models fields to the fields of the form class passed in. Then your form class isn't a subclass of the generated class, but a standalone class inheriting from newforms.Form. You would call it like: my_form_class = my_form_for_model(MyModel, form=MyForm) I'll play around with this some more later. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
