  1. PODjango Form not rendering
    text
    copied!<p>I have the following form in forms.py: </p> <pre><code>class ContractForm(forms.Form): title = forms.CharField() start_date = forms.DateField() end_date = forms.DateField() description = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea) client = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=Client.objects.all()) def __init__(self, user, *args, **kwargs): super(ContractForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) self.fields['client'] = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=Client.objects.filter(user=user)) clients = Client.objects.filter(user = user) for client in clients: print client </code></pre> <p>And in my view the method looks like this: </p> <pre><code>def addContract(request): if not request.user.is_authenticated(): return HttpResponseRedirect('/contractManagement/login/?next=%s' % request.path) else: if request.method == 'POST': contractForm = ContractForm(request.POST) title = request.POST['title'] start_date = request.POST['start_date'] end_date = request.POST['end_date'] description = request.POST['description'] client = request.POST['client'] user = request.user contract = Contract(title,start_date,end_date,description,client,user) contract.save() return HttpResponseRedirect('../../accounts/profile/') else: user = request.user print user.username contractForm = ContractForm(user) return render_to_response('newcontract.html', {'contractForm': contractForm}) </code></pre> <p>But the form won't render in the browser. All that shows up is the submit button. My HTML looks like this: </p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; {% if contractForm.errors %} &lt;p style="color: red;"&gt; Please correct the error{{ contractForm.errors|pluralize }} below. &lt;/p&gt; {% endif %} &lt;form method="POST" action=""&gt; &lt;table&gt; {{ contractForm.as_table }} &lt;/table&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Submit" /&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>So why won't the form render?</p> <hr> <p><strong>EDIT</strong> I have got rid of the custom client field requiring the user and it still won't render. I thought this might help. So a form could use this class: </p> <pre><code>class ContractForm(forms.Form): title = forms.CharField() start_date = forms.DateField() end_date = forms.DateField() description = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea) client = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=Client.objects.all()) </code></pre>
 

Querying!

An individual column

Larger individual text columns get their own page to allow for proper reading.
