Re: default blank choice on form.Form select widget

[jheasly]

Paulo -

Just to follow-up, I tried the patch (4092_9912_nullselect.diff), but
it being about 1500 checkins out of date, it only half worked.

In my forms.py, I ended up overriding the USStateSelect with a hack:

class HackedUSStateSelect(Select):
def __init__(self, attrs=None):
from django.contrib.localflavor.us.us_states import
STATE_CHOICES
STATE_CHOICES = (('',u'-'),) + STATE_CHOICES
super(HackedUSStateSelect, self).__init__(attrs,
choices=STATE_CHOICES)

Unless someone has a better suggestion, I think I'll live with it and
try to help with getting ticket 4092 into trunk ...

Hey Paulo,

No I hadn't seen the ticket. Thanks for the heads up.

Hard to tell from Trac what is holding up 4092. I see 10969 is more
recent, but a different angle of attack on the issue.

Did you see this ticket?

Maybe you can use the patch code to customize your field.

default blank choice on form.Form select widget

[JHeasly]

The doc page "Creating forms from models"
(http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/modelforms/#topics-
forms-modelforms)
describes how
"If the model field has choices set ... [snip] ... The choices will
normally include the blank choice which is selected by default. ... "

I have a form that's not associated with a database model (i.e.,
form.Form) and I'm using the USStateSelect widget, but the blank
choice isn't included in the STATE_CHOICE list. When the form loads,
what I get is "Alabama" selected by default. I'd like to get the
forms.ModelForm-style blank choice default selection behavior.

I'm guessing some sort of super() def __init__ trickery is called for
but am stumped so far ...

Thanks,
John
