Re: Form Validation for GET Request
Maybe because you actually have to pass `action`? ;)
Pass it through your form. Maybe my use of 'action' confused you with the
's action property. Not what I meant, sorry.
I didn't realize you had an actual form (Wait, why do you .. Ok, beyond the
point) but in this case you can just check for any value within your form
and see if it's True
If your form has a "name" field you could do: if request.GET.get('name'):
...
Your initial problem is when you load a page, that Is a GET request so
that's why it was going through.

Re: Form Validation for GET Request
This is what my template looks like:
{{ form.as_table }}
This is what my view looks like:
...
myform = MyForm()
if request.method=="GET":
myform = MyForm(request.GET)
if request.GET.get('action') == True:
if myform.is_valid():
...
...
return render_to_response ('template.html', {'form' : myform})
When I first go to the page, requet.GET.get('action') is None. When I
click the 'submit' button, again requet.GET.get('action') is None. I
used HttpResponse to return requet.GET.get('action') as a string.

Re: Form Validation for GET Request
If errors are showing when you first load the page then you need to check
that the user has actually completed an action before validating the form.
In this case, doing something like
if request.GET.get('action') == True:
# your form validation here
In your links back to the system, simply add an ?action=true (or whatever)
and that'll fix your issue there.

Re: Form Validation for GET Request

There is nothing in the newforms framework that is tied specifically to POST data. You can bind _any_ data to a form, whatever the source. Most of the examples you will see use POST data, because that's the most common way to use forms. However, if you can call: myform = MyForm(request.POST) if myform.is_valid(): ... you could also call: myform = MyForm(request.GET) if myform.is_valid(): ...

Form Validation for GET Request
I am writing a report page where users get to enter data in a form and based on it search results are provided. There are at least four fields in the form and all are used in searching. We are not making any changes to data, we should use GET instead of POST as form method. Since this input is going to be used to search database, we need to make sure it is valid before even thinking of sending it further. However, form.is_valid() is for POST only. Is there an is_valid() kind of thing for forms where method is GET so that data may be validated? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
