There are many here: http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/Tutorials http://blixtra.org/blog/2006/07/17/top-30-django-tutorials-and-articles/ However, that's a fairly narrow request, and newforms is replacing oldforms soon. newforms are better and here in the long term, but not well-documented yet because they are a work in progress. In any case, you want something like this: from django import newforms as forms from your.models import YourModel class MyForm(forms.Form): the_choice = forms.ChoiceField(choices=YourModel.objects.filter(foo__exact='bar')) In a view, you'd do this: form = MyForm() t = #your template t.render(Context({form:form})) And In your template, you'd have something like this: {{ form.as_table }} When round-tripping, you'd construct the form bound, like this: form = MyForm(request.POST) (MyForm expects a dictionary and binds any field to values in the dict which match the field's name, and ignores any extra keys in the dict.) If your head just exploded, sorry. :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
