POEditing related models in profile form using django-profiles
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm using <a href="http://bitbucket.org/ubernostrum/django-profiles/wiki/Home" rel="nofollow noreferrer">django-profiles</a> in my app, as it gives me a few simple views that helps me get where I want to go, faster.</p> <p>However, I have one problem. Given the models below, how can I create a form for editing a profile that includes all the fields on <code>UserProfile</code>, the first_name, last_name and email fields from <code>User</code>, and one or more <code>PhoneNumber</code>s?</p> <pre><code>from django.db import models from django.contrib.auth.models import User from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _ class UserProfile(models.Model): user = models.OneToOneField(User) height = models.IntegerField(_('Height'), max_length=3, blank=True, null=True, help_text=_('Users height in centimeters')) def get_absolute_url(self): return ('profiles_profile_detail', (), { 'username': self.user.username }) get_absolute_url = models.permalink(get_absolute_url) def __unicode__(self): return self.user.username class PhoneNumber(models.Model): description = models.CharField(_("Description"), max_length=32, blank=True) number = models.CharField(_("Phone number"), max_length=15) owner = models.ForeignKey(UserProfile, related_name="phone_numbers") def __unicode__(self): return u"%s (%s)" % (self.number, self.description) </code></pre> <p>The closest I've managed so far, is a form that includes all fields on <code>UserProfile</code>, and the wanted fields from <code>User</code>, using tricks explained <a href="http://birdhouse.org/blog/2009/06/27/django-profiles/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> and <a href="http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2081/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>:</p> <pre><code>from django import forms from main.models import UserProfile from django.contrib.auth.models import User class UserForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = User fields = ('first_name', 'last_name', 'email') class ProfileForm(forms.ModelForm): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): # magic self.user = kwargs['instance'].user user_kwargs = kwargs.copy() user_kwargs['instance'] = self.user self.uf = UserForm(*args, **user_kwargs) # magic end super(ProfileForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) self.fields.update(self.uf.fields) self.initial.update(self.uf.initial) def save(self, *args, **kwargs): # save both forms self.uf.save(*args, **kwargs) return super(ProfileForm, self).save(*args, **kwargs) class Meta: model = UserProfile exclude = ("user",) </code></pre> <p>In the admin, using Inlines on a custom ModelAdmin, I get the behaviour I want for the <code>PhoneNumber</code>s, but I've not been able to recreate it in a single form for use with django-profiles.</p> <p>Is it at all possible, or should I just ditch django-profiles and write my own profile-app that can use a formset to pull in the <code>PhoneNumber</code>s?</p>
