Django 1.2 I'm attempting to write my first custom Field Type. Eventually it will do something more complicated, but for now I am simply sub-classing the CharField. The first thing I'm doing is trying to change the default form field to be a MultipleChoiceField.
I followed the directions here: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/custom-model-fields/#specifying-the-form-field-for-a-model-field ...but I keep getting a single select drop-down instead of a multiple select. Here's my custom field: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- class KevinsCharField(models.CharField): description = "Kevins char field" __metaclass__ = models.SubfieldBase def formfield(self, **kwargs): defaults = {'form_class' : forms.MultipleChoiceField} defaults.update(kwargs) return super(KevinsCharField, self).formfield(**defaults) And here's where I define an instance of my field in a model --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- favorite_days = KevinsCharField( "My favorite days", max_length=200, choices=WEEKDAYS, blank=True) Can anyone help me figure out what I'm missing?
