Re: populating model values into form

You will need to make an admin.py and follow these directions

 

class FormAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    prepopulated_fields = {"slug": ("title",)}
slug can be what ever field you want to populate and title is where you are populating from, as far as I know you can only populate from within the same area.

 

 

then you need to register form and formadmin

 

admin.site.register(form, formadmin)

Hi,
Im a beginner here, would just like to ask how to pass and populate
model values (from database) into a created form, I have the following
codes

1. I already have a webpage list of all the values in a table form
2. If I click on any of the row with primary key id (example: clicking
edit link), it should redirect me to a created form (in forms.py) with
all the values populated based on the primary key id from the web
list.

How do I possibly do #2?
Please help. thanks.

given the following:
---------------------------------------
models.py:
from django.db import models
import datetime

SHORT_DATE_FORMAT = "%d - %b - %y"
DATE_FORMAT= "%Y-%m-%d"
TIME_FORMAT= "%H:%M"

class Job(models.Model):
   job_id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
   job_title = models.CharField(max_length=50, verbose_name =
"Title")
   job_desc = models.CharField(max_length=500, verbose_name =
"Description")
   active_datetime_fr = models.DateTimeField('time')
   active_datetime_to = models.DateTimeField('time')
-----------------------------------------
views.py
def object_list(request, model):
  obj_list = model.objects.all()
  template_name = '/job_list.html'
  t = loader.get_template(template_name)
  c = RequestContext(request, {"object_list": obj_list})
  return HttpResponse(t.render(c))
-----------------------------------------
forms.py:
from django import forms
from django.db.models.fields import AutoField
from datetime import date, datetime
import psycopg2

class JobAddForm(forms.Form):
   #job_id = forms.IntegerField()
   job_title = forms.CharField(label='Title', initial='',
required=True)
   job_desc = forms.CharField(label='Description', initial='',
required=False)
   date_fr = forms.DateField(required=True, label ="Active From
Date")
   date_to = forms.DateField(required=True, label ="Active To Date")
   time_to = forms.TimeField(required=True, label ="Active From
Time")
   time_fr = forms.TimeField(required=True, label ="Active To Time")
