Hi there - has anybody got a simple example of a newform that has a
few fields that are not edited by the user - a simple example is a
"comment" field -
the table looks something like :
class Comment(models.Model):
commentText = models.CharField(max_length=100)
commentUser = models.ForeignKey(User, editable=False)
The form :
class CommentForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Comment
and in the view :
@login_required
def add_comment(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = CommentForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
u = request.user
form.user = u
form.save()
( I won't bore you with the rest...)
Pretty frickin simple right? For the life of me I can't get it to
work ! Please don't just point me towards the docs at
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/modelforms/ as they don't
have any real concrete working examples I can work from - and the
statement : "To avoid this failure, you must instantiate your model
with initial values for the missing, but required fields, or use
save(commit=False) and manually set any extra required fields:" just
does NOT work for me....
A working 20 line example would suit me grandly !! Thanks in advance,
Richard.
