Can't override the default form field for my custom Field type. Help?

Django 1.2 I'm attempting to write my first custom Field Type. Eventually it will do something more complicated, but for now I am simply sub-classing the CharField. The first thing I'm doing is trying to change the default form field to be a MultipleChoiceField. I followed the directions here:

This must be a fairly common need so I'd love some help figuring out why I've made it so complicated. I've got a CharField "days_available" with choices set to a tuple of weekdays (e.g. Monday, Tuesday, etc.). In my form I am representing this field as a forms.MultipleChoiceField so that

My web host set up a django instance for me that can be accessed at http://www.mysite.com/directory/. They've set up an Apache rule (or something) that strips out the /directory/ before passing it on to django, so as a result that url gets resolved by my url pattern "^$". This is nice, the only

Re: Configuration help. Multiple projects.

Your needs are a bit vague, but here's a thought: I would think that you would want one project which would conceptually encompass everything your company does. Within that project you would create multiple apps: one for training and one for project XYZ (if I'm reading your requirements

Re: url template tag help

The other thing is that if there is anything else wrong with your views.py file it can cause Django to throw up this error. See if the error is occurring on the first occurence of {% url %} that gets called for the page you are requesting. That would be a good indication that your error is

Re: Forms vs Formsets vs Sessions vs FormWizard ??

TheCorp, My memory on the issue is rather fuzzy, but I seem to recall that you can't pass POST data along with a redirect, and that this has to do with the way HTTP is designed. Using session variables seems like an excellent idea in my opinion. One of the reason session variables were invented

Re: Extract values from form fields in templates

Passing both the form and the object is the solution I use. It may not be completely DRY, but I can't see how it's bad. You need access to the data in an object so you pass the object. Much more sensible than trying to extract those values from a more complicated data structure. Kevin On Feb
