PODjango Dajax validating model with many-to-many field
text
Body
copied!<p>I am using django and dajax and I am trying to validate an item that has a many-to-many field. I am using the django forms to create the form for this model. When I submit the form with a submit button and have at least 1 to x number of items selected in the selectbox, the model gets validated. When I use dajax, the model will only validate if I have atleast 2 of the items in the select box are selected.</p> <p>Does anyone know why this would happen?</p> <p>Model</p> <pre><code>#Hints class Hint(models.Model): title = models.TextField(max_length=200) body = models.TextField() industryType = models.ManyToManyField(IndustryType) screen = models.ManyToManyField(Screen) #Creates form for a hint class HintForm(ModelForm): class Meta: model = Hint #widgets = {'industryType': CheckboxSelectMultiple, 'screen': CheckboxSelectMultiple } industryType = ModelMultipleChoiceField(queryset=IndustryType.objects.all(), widget=CheckboxSelectMultiple()) </code></pre> <p>Template:</p> <pre><code><form id="hintForm" action="." method="post"> {% csrf_token %} <table> {{ form.as_table }} </table> <input type="submit" value="Submit"/> </form> <input type="button" onclick="send_form();" value="Add Hint" /> <script> function send_form(){ data = $('#hintForm').serializeObject(); // jQuery // If you are using jQuery, you need this form->object serializer // https://github.com/cowboy/jquery-misc/blob/master/jquery.ba-serializeobject.js alert(data['screen']) Dajaxice.THE.send_form(Dajax.process,{'hintform':data}); return(false) } </script> </code></pre> <p>Code in the View</p> <pre><code>def addHint(request): if request.method == 'POST': # If the form has been submitted... form = HintForm(request.POST) # A form bound to the POST data if form.is_valid(): # All validation rules pass # Process the data in form.cleaned_data #savedHint = form.save() #messages.success(request, '{0} has been added.'.format(savedHint)) print "Success" else: form = HintForm() # An unbound form return render_to_response('manage/screens/form.html', { 'form': form, 'breadcrumName' : 'Add Screen' }, context_instance=RequestContext(request)) </code></pre> <p>AJAX.py</p> <pre><code>@dajaxice_register def send_form(request, hintform): dajax = Dajax() form = HintForm(hintform) print form if form.is_valid(): dajax.alert("This form is_valid") else: dajax.alert("Not Valid") return dajax.json() </code></pre>
