SmileyChris: hmmm…yeah….. whatever :D

SmileyChris: "If that doesn’t exist, or is empty, Django tries the URL in the Referrer header. " I think that's the case.. because the "next" parameter is empty and the Referrer header points to the source language not the destination… :S

Do I override get_objects in a CreateView CBV if I want to filter the results in a form that is being rendered

acmehandle: erm.... filter which results?

Give me a moment, I need to think this through.

ModelForm > Template. So the results of the model associated to the ModelForm. Or in other words, one of the fields of the model is a ForeignKey, hence the form being rendered has a MultipleChoice drop down menu that is rendered along with the other fields which I defined.

I hope that makes sense.

So I want those results that show up in the drop down field to be the ones only associated with the model associated via the ForeignKey

Whereas right now object is showing up in the dropdown field.

if it's a FKey, it can't be a multiple-choice

so, you want to filter the choices for a fkey field?

or is this a list of a model related to this one?

FunkyBob: ModelChoiceField in the ModelForm: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/fo...

But yes, I want to filter the choices for the fkey field

I have to take a step back. I need to filter based on user, but the user_id field is in the foreign model.

So I need to reach in to the other model to filter the results for this model

so in your Form.__init__ you need to update the field queryset according to the user?

so for a CBV you'd need to (a) provide your custom form class, and (b) update get_form_kwargs to include request.user

then update your form class to accept user, and self.fields['whatever'].queryset = user.foo_set.all()

FunkyBob, update the form class in views.py or in forms.py?

In ModelForm. But I guess 'update' is a word you can use to describe what I need to do. But yes, according to the user.

But giving it more thought, yes. I think you have it.

you need to alter the form class and the view

I need to update, filter the queryset according to the user.

yes

and you do that in your Modelform's __init__ method

but get_form_kwargs returns the fields going to the form for rendering in {{ form }}

?

hi hi

no, it returns the kwards you're passing to the form class when you isntanciate it

FunlyBob, hi – can you please re-link your blog post about custom user model?

and this is why I think CBGV are hazardous to new djangonauts

bed777: sure

though it was mroe about registration

10x man

Always appreciate that vote of confidence

IntegrityError: NOT NULL constraint failed: users_user.first_name

first_name = models.CharField(max_length=32, null=True, blank=True)

what?

FunkyBob, ideas?

bed777: did you add null=True after your initial syncdb, and forget to create/apple a migration/

why the fuck do you have a nullable char field?

why not?

first_name its optional..

yes I forgot to migrate

apply, I mean

MRO in django is the same as MRO in the rest of python right?

ValueError: Cannot find a UNIQUE constraint on table users_user, columns ['username']

FunkyBob, ideas?

this is south

shit

acmehandle: not sure I understood you correctly, but 'course it is. Django doesn't have a custom MRO

after all it is "just Python"
