Since form_for_model isn't nearly finished yet (regarding with FileFields and customization - or I just can't find how it works), I have decided to just repeat myself and create my own forms.
I thought that it'd be very intuitive if a form instance gets bound to the data from a model instance, but it seems it doesn't. To clarify things: def MyForm(newforms.Form): field1=newforms.CharField() field2=newforms.CharField() def MyModel(models.Model): field1=models.TextField() field2=models.TextField() m = MyModel.objects.get(pk=1) f = MyForm(f) # this should pre-populate the form with the data from the model, but it doesn't. #In fact, nothing even gets displayed on the screen... Am I assuming something wrong ? I'd love to use form_for_model, but I'm using compound models (it's a user profile, really) and it's not very useful, as I'll still have to customize it extensively. Or should I just display more than one form on a page ? Meaning: def myview(request): form1 = MyForm1(request.POST) # some fields are here form2 = MyForm2(request.POST) # some other fields are here #save the forms. The user will see just one form, but it'll be split behind the scenes to map to different Forms and Models... Do I make sense ?
