I'n new to django, and I am having trouble with forms: I tried
following the example on the web page:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/#topics-forms-index
I setup a quick unit test, but I am unable to get the desired result
with forms.Form. I replaced my forms.Form object with a ModelForm, and
it works fine. Unfortunately I need to use the standard Form, because
the form doesn't really match my model that much.
I am using django1.0
Example 1: with forms
from django import forms
class UploadImageForm(forms.Form):
name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
notes = models.CharField(max_length=200)
image = models.ImageField(upload_to='images')
import unittest
from django.test.client import Client
class BasicTest(unittest.TestCase):
def testStuff(self):
u = UploadImageForm()
print '****'
print u.as_p()
print '****'
I ran mange.py test....
Output (nothing):
****
****
It is a forms.Form object. When I print out dir() I get all the other
object data, but for some reason as_p(), as_table(), etc... don't
produce any output.
Example 2: with ModelForm
from django.forms import ModelForm
class UploadImageForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
fields = ('notes','image')
model = ImageResource #defined elsewhere
This time, when I run the unit test, I get the following output (it
works):
****
<p><label for="id_notes">Notes:</label> <input id="id_notes"
type="text" name="notes" maxlength="200" /></p>
<p><label for="id_image">Image:</label> <input type="file"
name="image" id="id_image" /></p>
****
Any ideas?
