@ sean,

make sure you inherit from admin.ModelAdmin

class FileAdmin:
pass # this gives your error

class FileAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
pass

type object ‘ProductForm’ has no attribute ‘fields’

Jens: Thanks for the hint. I put the template into the article. About gettext: As I don’t plan to i18n my web application, I won’t use gettext. Additionally: adding gettext to the examples would just add more complexity..

Jay, Baum: Please pose this kind of questions in django-users: http://groups.google.com/group/django-users

Christian: I just updated to the latest version and my code still seems to work.. are you sure?

In the model class you should use gettext -> _(“blabla”)

You have posted the template in the comment 18. It’s better you put this in the page above

A Question related to Michael Samoylov:
How can I create a form for Models like
class Father:
name = CharField(maxlength=66)
son = ForeignKey(Son)

I know its possible to set editable = False but then I won’t have any input-widget for the Son! I want a form to create both: Father and son

Philipp:

How about rendering password input with your widget. Something like – EntryForm.base_fields['password'].widget = PasswordInput()??

Thanks in advance,
J

In the current version of newforms, I think ‘base_fields’ is renamed to just ‘fields’.

Andrew: if the form isn't valid, the entry isn't saved in the db but the form gets drawn again by t.render(c). If a nonvalidating form is rendered, the validation errors are printed inside the form, see official documentation Mark: exactly: commit=False omits the save() call
