Stephen, my apologies, it most certainly did work! You did make one small
mistake by forgetting the quotes around the item and the form in the dict.
. .
like this [{'item': item, 'form': form}]. This is why it didn't work the
1st time I tried it, you were missing the quotes and I didn't catch it
Nope, can't get this to work either. This way, nothing works. Nothing will
display on the page this way, not the products nor the form.
I see now what you were trying to do in the 1st example, however as you
said, django templates won't allow that.
I was able to do the form in the template
It's now a dict, so you have to index into it. The for loop won't magically
know which element of add_product_forms you want. You'd want
add_product_forms[item.pk].
But ugg... apparently Django templates won't (out of the box) let you index
a dict using another variable. Thanks for reminding me
Yeah, I'm obviously doing something wrong in the template, Stephen. I'm not
quite sure what I'm supposed to do (in the template). You kinda lost me on
the last sentence, "Then adjust your template to index into
add_product_forms based on item.pk."
Could you give me a hint, please? And thank you
Thank for the answer, Stephen. However, I'm still a little confused, and it
apparently doesn't' work unless I'm doing something wrong in the template.
In the template, I'm supposed to change the "add_product_form" to
"add_product_forms" in the template?
In other words, "add_product_forms.quantity"
You assign to context every loop iteration. So at the end, only the last
add_product_form constructed is ever used. Try this:
def show_cart(request):
cart_id = _cart_id(request)
cart_items = CartItem.objects.filter(cart_id=cart_id)
add_product_forms = {}
for item in cart_items:
I'm working on an online shop, and I'm having a problem in the cart,
here's a screen shot (http://pasteboard.co/Vwnv2T0.png).
I'd like the form for each item (product) to show it's current quantity
(that's already been added to the cart)
as an initial value as most ecommerce sites do.
