Thanks for the reply...
This is the kind of thing I am looking for. However I have tried this
approach and I could not get it working exactly right.
Along this line I have tried the following:
class MyForm(forms.Form):
def __init__(self, extra_param=None, *args, **kwargs):
self.extra_param = extra_param
super(MyForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
def clean(self):
# access your extra param with self.extra_param
class TestFormWizard(FormWizard):
extra_param = {}
def get_form(self, step, data=None):
"""Override the get form to add the extra param. This is ugly
IMO"""
return self.form_list[step](self.extra_param, data,
prefix=self.prefix_for_step(step), initial=self.initial.get(step,
None))
def parse_params(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = self.get_form(current_step, request.POST)
if form.is_valid:
self.extra_param.update(form.cleaned_data)
Now this work in passing the data from the last form to the next...but
there are some cases I need data from 2 or 3 forms ago and this does
not seem to get passed (I feel this is from the web server recycling
processes)
