POHow to show hidden autofield in django formset
text
Body
copied!<p>A Django autofield when displayed using a formset is hidden by default. What would be the best way to show it?</p> <p>At the moment, the model is declared as,</p> <pre><code>class MyModel: locid = models.AutoField(primary_key=True) ... </code></pre> <p>When this is rendered using Django formsets, </p> <pre><code>class MyModelForm(ModelForm): class Meta: model = MyModel fields = ('locid', 'name') </code></pre> <p>it shows up on the page as,</p> <pre><code><input id="id_form-0-locid" type="hidden" value="707" name="form-0-locid"/> </code></pre> <p>Thanks.</p> <hr> <p><strong>Edit</strong></p> <p>I create the formset like this -</p> <pre><code>LocFormSet = modelformset_factory(MyModel) pformset = LocFormSet(request.POST, request.FILES, queryset=MyModel.objects.order_by('name')) </code></pre> <hr> <p><strong>Second Edit</strong></p> <p>Looks like I'm not using the custom form class I defined there, so the question needs slight modification..</p> <p><em>How would I create a formset from a custom form (which will show a hidden field), as well as use a custom queryset?</em></p> <p>At the moment, I can either inherit from a BaseModelFormSet class and use a custom query set, or I can use the ModelForm class to add a custom field to a <strong>form</strong>. Is there a way to do both with a formset?</p> <hr> <p><strong>Third Edit</strong></p> <p>I'm now using,</p> <pre><code>class MyModelForm(ModelForm): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super(MyModelForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) locid = forms.IntegerField(min_value = 1, required=True) self.fields['locid'].widget.attrs["type"] = 'visible' self.queryset = MyModel.objects.order_by('name') class Meta: model = MyModel fields = ('locid', 'name') LocFormSet = modelformset_factory(MyModel, form = MyModelForm) pformset = LocFormSet() </code></pre> <p>But this still doesn't </p> <ul> <li>Show locid</li> <li>Use the custom query that was specified.</li> </ul>
