You mean like: django.newforms.models.form_for_model django.newforms.models.form_for_instance I'm not sure where I stumbled across this first as I didn't find it in the djangoproject.com docs, but it's clear that you're not the only one to think this. :) There is a separation (and so Django provides it) as you might want a form that incorporates more or less than a model, but if it's just a model that you want, these shortcuts eliminate some of the grunt-coding. > You could have a parameter for each model field like > form=True or whatever if that field should be included in a > form. You don't get this much, but you at least get a shortcut for building forms from a model/instance. Additionally, modifying the model would not be desirable, as you might want to have different views/forms of the same model (and such tagging could conflict). -tkc --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
