I have a model that uses different validation for its name field depending on whether the object was created by a user or by the system. class Symbol(models.Model): name = models.CharField(_('name'), unique=True, max_length=64) creator = models.ForeignKey('User', null=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE) def is_system_internal(self): """ whether or not this Symbol belongs to the system rather than having been created by a user """ return (self.creator is None) def clean(self): """ ensure that the Symbol's name is valid """ if self.is_system_internal(): if not re.match("^_[a-zA-Z0-9\-_]+$", self

I'm trying to track the user that created an object using a CreateView and I'm doing it exactly like it's done in documentation ( https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/class-based-views/generic-editing/ , Models and request.user) except I don't use login_required() decorator but LoginRequiredMixin from django-braces instead. My model: class Contact(models.Model): owner = models.ForeignKey(User, editable=False) first_name = models.CharField(max_length=255,) last_name = models.CharField(max_length=255,) email = models.EmailField() My view: class CreateContactView(LoginRequiredMixin,

I'm using a generic DetailView to display a project object. Can I loop through the fields somehow in my template or do I have to place every field. url(r'^(?P<slug>[-\w]+)/$', DetailView.as_view(model=Project, template_name='projects/detail_project.html',slug_field='slug', context_object_name='project'), name='project_detail'), I've got something like this in my template: {{ project.title }} {{ project.created_date }} etc... Is there a way to do something like this? <table> {% for field in project %} <tr> <td>{{ field }}</td> </tr> {% endfor %} </table> I tried the above snippet and got this

I have a model with a ManyToMany relation that I would like to update with a CheckBoxSelectMultiple widget while everything else uses the default generic form, but when I redefine that one form field, it is the only one that shows up in the UpdateView. Is there a way to use a widget with just one field without having to redefine the entire form? Views.py: from django.views.generic.edit import UpdateView from kunden.models import Kunde, Unternehmenstyp from kunden.forms import KundeEditForm class KundeUpdate(UpdateView): model = Kunde form_class = KundeEditForm template_name = 'kunden/kunde

Ways I've tried: result = CategoryTypes.as_view() # The same way you put it in the urlconf print result Prints: <function CategoryTypes at 0x92bd924> CategoryTypes.as_view()(self.request) # & CategoryTypes().dispatch(self.request) Tracebacks: ContentNotRenderedError at /crm/categories/company/ The response content must be rendered before it can be accessed. result = CategoryTypes().__init__() print result Prints: None How do I call this from another view?

I have a written a mixin that overrides the POST and get_from_kwargs of CreateView . I am doing AJAX submission of my form. I see that get_from_kwargs is called by printing on the console. But none of the other methods such as post , form_valid or form_invalid is being called. I have placed print statements in these methods but none of them is being called. Here is my mixin: class PendFormMixin(object): form_hash_name = 'form_hash' pend_button_name = 'pend' def get_form_kwargs(self): """ Returns a dictionary of arguments to pass into the form instantiation. If resuming a pended form, this will
