I am trying to validate a formset that I have and am having problems
with the forms within the set. If i call is_valid on a formset after a
POST, it seems that the individual forms aren't validating within the
set. For example, if the code below is executed, the resulting log
looks like this:
DEBUG 17:00:49,800 views.test:55 poll data: {'question':
u'test'}
DEBUG 17:00:49,801 views.test:58 formset data: {}
DEBUG 17:00:49,801 views.test:60 form data: [{}]
I am not sure how those resulting forms are valid, the CharField is
required?
thanks, Matt
here is the sample code:
forms.py:
from django import forms
from django.forms.formsets import formset_factory
class PollForm(forms.Form):
question = forms.CharField(max_length=200)
class ChoiceForm(forms.Form):
choice = forms.CharField(max_length=200, required=True)
ChoiceFormSet = formset_factory(ChoiceForm)
views.py:
from site.polls.forms import *
def test(request):
if request.POST:
poll = PollForm(request.POST, prefix='poll')
choice = ChoiceFormSet(request.POST)
if poll.is_valid():
logging.debug("poll data: %s" %poll.cleaned_data)
for form in choice.forms:
if form.is_valid():
logging.debug("formset data %s" % form.cleaned_data)
if choice.is_valid():
logging.debug("form data %s" + choice.cleaned_data)
else:
poll = PollForm( prefix='poll')
choice = ChoiceFormSet()
return render_to_response('polls/test.html', {'poll': poll,
'choices':choice})
test.html:
<form action="/polls/test" method="post">
{{choices.management_form}}
{{poll.as_p}}
<fieldset>
<legend>Choices</legend>
<ul id="choices">
{% for form in choices.forms %}
<li>{{form.as_p}}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
</fieldset>
<input type="submit" value="Create" />
</form>
