I probably need to be more specific..
here's my model:
class Recipe(modesl.Model):
recipetitle = models.CharField()
cooking_method = models.ForeignKey(CookingMethod)
class CookingMethod(models.Model):
cookmethodname = models.CharField()
forms.py
class RecipeForm(forms.Form):
title = forms.CharField()
cookmethod =
forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=CookingMethod.objects.all())
views.py
def edit_recipe(request,recipe_id):
if request.method == "POST":
yadda yadda
else:
recipe = Recipe.objects.get(id=recipe_id)
recipeform = RecipeForm()
recipeform.fields['title'] = recipe.recipetitle
recipeform.fields['cooking_method'] = recipe.cooking_method
When a new recipe is created, all the different cooking methods
correctly show up in the recipe form as a <Select> html element
(corresponding to the ModelChoice field in the form).
However, when an existing recipe is being edited, the recipe title is
retrieved correctly, but the corresponding recipe cooking method is
not displayed in the <select> html element. instead, the one
corresponding to the empty label (------) shows up.
Any ideas ? I'm losing my mind over this.
thanks in advance.
