    <p>I'm trying to work with the django form validation walkthrough that they have <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/validation/" rel="nofollow">here</a></p> <p>However, I seem to be getting stuck. It seem that one of my parameters (recipients) isn't being passed through, even though the others are. </p> <p>Here is my html form:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form action= "receiver" method="post" &gt; {% csrf_token %} &lt;p&gt;&lt;label for="id_subject"&gt;Subject:&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input id="id_subject" type="text" name="subject" maxlength="100" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;label for="id_message"&gt;Message:&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="message" id="id_message" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;label for="id_sender"&gt;Sender:&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="sender" id="id_sender" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;label for="id_recipients"&gt;Recipients:&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="recipients" id="id_recipients" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;label for="id_cc_myself"&gt;Cc myself:&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input type="checkbox" name="cc_myself" id="id_cc_myself" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Submit" /&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here is the relevant model class in models.py:</p> <pre><code>class ContactForm(forms.Form): subject = forms.CharField(max_length=100) message = forms.CharField() sender = forms.EmailField() recipients = MultiEmailField(required=True) cc_myself = forms.BooleanField(required=False) </code></pre> <p>and here is the associated view: </p> <pre><code>def reciever(request): form = ContactForm(request.POST) # A form bound to the POST data print form if request.method == 'POST': if form.is_valid(): subject = form.cleaned_data['subject'] message = form.cleaned_data['message'] sender = form.cleaned_data['sender'] cc_myself = form.cleaned_data['cc_myself'] recipients = form.cleaned_data['recipients'] template = loader.get_template('helloworld/receiver.html') context = RequestContext(request,{ 'subject':subject, 'sender':sender, 'message': message, 'cc_myself': cc_myself, 'recipients': recipients, }) return HttpResponse(template.render(context)) else: context = RequestContext(request,{ 'form': form, }) template = loader.get_template('helloworld/wrong.html') return HttpResponse(template.render(context)) </code></pre> <p>I don't get too much into the view, I can see from my print form that the request is invalid with the following output:</p> <pre><code>&lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;&lt;label for="id_subject"&gt;Subject:&lt;/label&gt;&lt;/th&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;input id="id_subject" maxlength="100" name="subject" type="text" value="slkj" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;&lt;label for="id_message"&gt;Message:&lt;/label&gt;&lt;/th&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;input id="id_message" name="message" type="text" value="lkjqw" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;&lt;label for="id_sender"&gt;Sender:&lt;/label&gt;&lt;/th&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;input id="id_sender" name="sender" type="text" value="ij@aol.com" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; **&lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;&lt;label for="id_recipients"&gt;Recipients:&lt;/label&gt;&lt;/th&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;ul class="errorlist"&gt;&lt;li&gt;This field is required.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;input id="id_recipients" name="recipients" type="text" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;** &lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;&lt;label for="id_cc_myself"&gt;Cc myself:&lt;/label&gt;&lt;/th&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;input id="id_cc_myself" name="cc_myself" type="checkbox" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; </code></pre> <p>So for some reason, even though I do enter info into the form box (fake@aol.com), it doesn't seem to be passing through the form, and I'm not quite sure why.</p> <p>Edit: sorry, I forgot an important part. I also added a custom class to the model.py as per the tutorial's instructions:</p> <pre><code>class MultiEmailField(forms.Field): def to_python(self, value): "Normalize data to a list of strings." # Return an empty list if no input was given. if not value: return [] return value.split(',') def validate(self, value): "Check if value consists only of valid emails." # Use the parent's handling of required fields, etc. super(MultiEmailField, self).validate(value) for email in value: validate_email(email) </code></pre>

    3. COAdded them in! I just typed in an email. The recipient box can take in multiple emails separated by commas. What is defined as an email is validated by the django email validator, which I believe works, since sender is also an email required field and that tested OK

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
