DjangoBot: #django

and proofs :)

wmealin1: maybe when you finish writing a completely generalized solution, you can prove godel wrong :P

How would one exactly pass data to a form? I'm trying to fetch the data from my model, and then do: registration_form = RegistrationFormBigfootProfile(profile) but it's a no go. Any hints?

Yuchant reload? No.

truebosko what is RegistrationFormBigfootProfile?

truebosko: you have to override form's __init__

Zal - It's my registration form with profile fields .. I guess if I want to make one where the user can EDIT the fields I need to make a new one?

where is the code that converts form data into python data types?

truebosko instance=profile

Zal - What do you mean?

truebosko RegistrationFormBigfootProfile(instance=profile)

Hmm

I get unexpected keyword argument `instance` with that .. I assume

I need to modify my class somehow

I guess it's not a newform

er, I mean a ModelForm

Let me dpaste it

I created it with some help, so Im not too keen on the inner workings of it but I had other things to worry about in my project at the time ;p

I used django-registration

And the guy who helped me wrote that save method up for me

I don't know anything about django-registration

Ah

hi guys, how to mix ModelForm and django.contrib.formtools.preview?

I dont think it matters if I use django-registration in this case or not but yah, just wanted to point it out

avn: Doesn't it just work? A ModelForm is still a newforms Form.

mattmcc: I want to fill one field to name of currently logged user.

truebosko well, that's where the form is coming from, so if it's not a newform, I don't know what it is.

I try to hook .save() but Preview.done() pass only cleaned_data not form itself

Zal - I see, ok

mattmcc: and I don't know -- how to pass form with "loaded" data to Preview

Holas

what's the nicest way for me to get all CharFields stripping their values before validating them? I could make a StrippedCharField form field, but i use ModelForm a lot and that will still default to forms.CharField, won't it? or can i specify in my model or elsewhere which form field to use for those fields?

__machine http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/mode...

right, so I need to specify the field in each ModelForm

anyone got a link on how to do more complicated things in html templates

i want to do if statements

i already use for loops

Did you read the template docs?

djangoproject.com under docs

will go look

most of my model forms do not require any customising (except for this), so i have a helper method which creates a ModelForm for a given model... i would not be able to use that anymore as 'd need to declare each ModelForm... or write some code to loop- through the model fields looking for CharField to override?

__machine the latter sounds like a workable option

on newforms, isn't there a field for passwords ?

errr

forget that

and i actually meant a widget :)

but ctrl+f is my friend

would that be something like... class Form(forms.ModelForm): for f in m._meta.fields: if f.get_internal_type() == 'CharField': setattr(self, f.name, StrippedCharField()) ?

__machine I think you'll have to adjust self.fields, not self

I never heard of get_internal_type. Does it really return a string?

(I've always just used isinstance)
