Re: More Than Two Models With inlineformset_factory
No, I mean two or more different forms. I'd like Parent, Child1 AND Child2 all in the same formset. What you've suggested though, should get me where I want to go.

Re: More Than Two Models With inlineformset_factory
Excellent, Matthias... That should work nicely. It does appear, however, that there is no way to have more than 2 forms in a single formset. If inlineformset_factory had an append method things might be a bit cleaner. Thanks again for your help. geraldo On Aug 11, 3:55 pm, Matthias Kestenholz wrote: > On Tue, Aug 11, 2009 at 10:04 PM, Geraldo wrote: > > > Hi, > > > I'm new to Django and am putting together a page for my new site.

More Than Two Models With inlineformset_factory
Hi, I'm new to Django and am putting together a page for my new site. I want to be able to edit data that is contained in 3 models, organized as follows: Parent --> Child 1 (always one to one) --> Child 2 (one or more) I understand I can do the following: class Parent(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=100) parent_type = models.CharField(max_length=10) class Child1(models.Model): name = models.ForeignKey(Author) address = models.CharField(max_length=100) class Child2(models.Model): name = models.ForeignKey(Author) gender = models.CharField(max_length=8) # so I can do this to get a formset with Parent and Child1 Formset1 = inlineformset_factory(Parent, Child1) dad = Parent.objects.get(name=u'Popeye') formset = Formset1(instance=dad) # or this to get a formset with Parent and Child2 Formset2 = inlineformset_factory(Parent, Child2) dad = Parent.objects.get(name=u'Popeye') formset = Formset2(instance=dad) What I don't understand is how I get both child1 and child2 in my formset? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance! geraldo --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
