I have an Entry model which can belong to a Category.I am providing a CategoryChoicesForm sothat the user can choose from various Categorys (from a dropdown list)when an Entry is created or edited.
I am having trouble with the CategoryChoicesForm while editing the Entry.It throws a TypeError..
If somebody can make out what is happening..please advise me how to correct this.
int() argument must be a string or a number, not 'QueryDict'
/home/Django-1.4/django/db/models/fields/__init__.py in get_prep_value, line 537
...views.py in edit_entry
category_choices_form = CategoryChoicesForm(form_data)
...
...forms.py in __init__
self.fields['categoryoption'].queryset = Category.objects.filter(creator=self.creator)
Here is the form
class CategoryChoicesForm(forms.Form):
categoryoption = forms.ModelChoiceField(
queryset = Category.objects.none(),
required=False,label='Category')
def __init__(self, categorycreator,*args, **kwargs):
super(CategoryChoicesForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.creator=categorycreator
self.fields['categoryoption'].queryset = Category.objects.filter(creator=self.creator)
The edit_entry view is as follows
@login_required
@transaction.commit_on_success
def edit_entry(request,id,template_name,page_title):
form_data = get_form_data(request)
entry = get_object_or_404(Entry,pk=id,author=request.user)
...
category_choices_form = CategoryChoicesForm(form_data)
...
