I'm following the official example on how to use Django forms from
http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/djangoforms.html
Want to define st:state - AK:Alaska, AL=Alabama, etc. so that people
can use "Alaska" instead of "AK"
I want to store both st and state in the table for entries so I don't
have to do a lookup later.
So I want to present a pull-down with the list of states. On submit,
look up the abbreviation for Alaska and store them both.
I want to use the abbreviation because /state/dc looks like less cause
for trouble down the road than /state/district%20of%20columbia
>From the example, I don't understand how I can access the form
variables. Seemed like StatesForm.state would work but it doesn't.
class US_States(db.Model):
st = db.StringProperty(required=True,multiline=False)
state = db.StringProperty(required=True,multiline=False)
class US_Info(db.Model):
st = db.StringProperty(required=True,multiline=False)
state = db.StringProperty(required=True,multiline=False)
info = db.TextProperty
class US_InfoForm(djangoforms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = US_Info
class AddInfo(webapp.RequestHandler):
def get(self):
form = US_InfoForm()
# original had self.response.out.write( US_InfoForm() )
self.response.out.write('<html><body>' )
self.response.out.write('<br> <a href="/">Home</a>')
self.response.out.write(' > <a href="/states.html">States</
a><br>' )
self.response.out.write('<form method="POST" '
'action="/add_plate/">' )
self.response.out.write('<table>')
self.response.out.write(form )
self.response.out.write('</table>'
'<input type="submit">'
'</form></body></html>')
query = db.GqlQuery("SELECT * FROM US_States WHERE state = :
1", form.state)
# doesn't work
