Django FormWizard with dynamic forms
- by krys
I want to implement a simple 2 part FormWizard.
Form 1 will by dynamically generated something like this:
class BuyAppleForm(forms.Form):
creditcard = forms.ChoiceField(widget = forms.RadioSelect)
type = forms.ChoiceField(widget = forms.RadioSelect)
def __init__(self,*args, **kwargs):
user = kwargs['user']
del kwargs['user']
super(BuyAppleForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
credit_cards = get_credit_cards(user)
self.fields['creditcard'].choices = [(card.id,str(card)) for card in credit_cards]
apple_types= get_types_packages()
self.fields['type'].choices = [(type.id,str(type)) for type in apple_types]
This will dynamically create a form with lists of available choices.
My second form, I actually want no input. I just want to display a confirmation screen containing the credit card info, apple info, and money amounts (total, tax, shipping). Once user clicks OK, I want the apple purchase to commence.
I was able to implement the single form way by passing in the request.user object in the kwargs. However, with the FormWizard, I cannot figure this out.
Am I approaching the problem wrong and is the FormWizard not the proper way to do this? If it is, how can the Form __init__ method access the user object from the HTTP request?
