in a child table. My urlconf calls add_childtable in my views.py and
passes the parenttable_id to it. I have excluded the parenttable from
my ChildTableForm(ModelForm) because I do not want it to be available
to the users. When I hit submit – from my form.html I get a
"KeyError" error message. The parenttable field/column (a ForeighKey
field) does not want to accept the parenttable_id I am passing to it.
What am I doing wrong? Example code snippets are always appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill
PS. I notice that the code pasted in below seems to have messed up
some of the indenting, but its correct in my python files.
# models.py
class ChildTable(models.Model):
field1 = models.IntegerField(null=True, blank=True)
field2 = models.CharField(max_length=35, blank=True)
field3 = models.CharField(max_length=35, blank=True)
parenttable = models.ForeignKey(ParentTable)
class ChildTableForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = ChildTable
exclude = ('parenttable',)
# views.py
def add_childtable(request, parenttable_id):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = ChildTableForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
# create a new listing
childtable = ChildTable.objects.create(
field1=form.cleaned_data['field1'],built'],
field2=form.cleaned_data['field2'],built'],
field3=form.cleaned_data['field3'],built'],
parenttable=form.cleaned_data[parenttable_id],
)
# Always redirect after a POST
return http.HttpResponseRedirect('/appdir/childtable/%s/'
% childtable.id)
else:
# This the the first page load, display a blank form
form = ChildTableForm()
context = Context({'title': 'Add ChildTableData', 'form': form})
context.update(csrf(request))
return render_to_response('appdir/form.html', context)
