I wonder if anyone can give me some pointers. I've been working with
new forms with reasonable results, but I've come across a problem when
creating a form with dynamic fields and rendering to an HTML template.
I want to create a form using data from a queryset which extracts data
for a specific user. Alongside each row, I want to place a checkbox
which the user can tick to indicate their preference.
The output table would look something like this:
<table border=1>
<tr><td> Points Type </td><td >Points</td><td> Select</td></tr>
<tr><td> Points Type 1</td><td >Points</td><td> Select</td></tr>
<tr><td> Points Type 2</td><td >Points</td><td> Select</td></tr>
<tr><td> Points Type n</td><td >Points</td><td> Select</td></tr>
The intention here being that the user can select one or more rows and
use them in further processing.
I've defined the form class as:
class MyForm(forms.Form):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(MyForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
qs=UserPoints.objects.all()
for i in qs:
self.fields['type_%s' % i.type_id] = forms.CharField()
self.fields['points_%s' % i.points] = forms.CharField()
self.fields['select_%s % i]=forms.BooleanField()
In my view I call the form and return the response to the template.
myuser=request.user
if request.method == "POST":
form=MyForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
etc....
else:
form=MyForm()
context = Context({'form':form)
return render_to_response('mytemplate.html', context)
My issue is that I want to be able to filter the form queryset so that
it only shows the specific user's records - can anyone suggest a way
to do this.
I also want to output the various fields on the form in the HTML
template, but I can't work out the correct syntax.
I'm probably doing something daft through lack of experience. However,
any insight gretaly received.
