Thank you.
I'll be more specific, here is what I have:
views.py
-------------
...
if request.method == 'POST':
some_form = SomeForm(data = request.POST, request=request,
instance=somemodel)
...
if some_form.is_valid():
some_form_update = some_form.save(commit=False)
if some_form.cleaned_data['checkbox']:
#do something
...
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('app.views.somemodel_detail',
args=(somemodel.key_id,)))
else:
some_form = SomeForm(request=request, instance = somemodel)
return render_to_response("template.html", {'some_form':
some_form}, context_instance=RequestContext(request))
forms.py
------------
class SomeForm(ModelForm):
def __init__(self, *args, **kw):
self.request = kw.pop('request')
super(SomeForm, self).__init__(*args, **kw)
#I originally had checkbox outside of meta but have tested both
ways now
#checkbox = forms.BooleanField(required=False, label='Checkbox')
class Meta:
model = SomeModel
checkbox = forms.BooleanField(required=False,
label='Checkbox')
On template.html I have to manually include the html for the message
input of type checkbox.
When I submit the form I get the error KeyError for the form field
"checkbox" that I manually added to template.html and debug points to
the line:
if some_form.cleaned_data['checkbox']:
Thanks again for helping.
