Hi,
Like in many projects i use User from auth and my own Profile model.
Except i have several profiles so Profile just holds a generic FK
relationship;
And ProfileFoo model has also a user Fk pointing back to User (its
cleaner than using the generic reverse realtion which gives back a
list)
If i need to create a form which will edit/save fields for ProfileFoo
and Basic User fiedls what is the right way to do ?
For now i do as follow:
Forms:
A BasicProfileForm model Form with firstname, lastname and email
fields.
A ProfileFooForm inheriting from BasicProfileForm and adding some of
his own fields (using Meta)
View:
# We will look at the update case
form = ProfileForm(instance=myprofile)
And in my form i intercept the instance as follow:
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(ProfileFooForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
if kwargs.has_key('instance'):
profileFoo = kwargs['instance']
self.fields['bla'].initial = profileFoo.user.bla
self.fields['bli'].initial = profileFoo.user.bli
It works well, but woudnt it be possible to do it more cleanly ?
Thanks,
Greg
