def add_subject_enroll(request):
user = request.user
obj = StudentRegistration.objects.get(user=user)
print "obj.first_name",obj.first_name
first_name = obj.first_name
print "first_name",first_name
if obj.user:
print "object exist"
#form = Subject_EnrollForm(request.POST or None, initial={'student_name' : first_name})
#form = Subject_EnrollForm( initial={'student_name' : obj.first_name})
form = Subject_EnrollForm(request.POST or None, request.FILES or None)
form.fields["student_name"].initial = first_name
form.fields["birth_place"].initial = obj.birth_place
form.fields["gender"].initial = obj.gender
form.fields["phone"].initial = obj.phone
form.fields["email"].initial = obj.email
form.fields["phone"].initial = obj.phone
form.fields["nationality"].initial = obj.nationality
form.fields["religion"].initial = obj.religion
form.fields["blood_group"].initial = obj.blood_group
form.fields["nationality"].initial = obj.nationality
form.fields["nationality"].initial = obj.nationality
form.fields["nationality"].initial = obj.nationality
form.fields["nationality"].initial = obj.nationality
else:
print "object not found"
Subject_EnrollForm(request.POST or None, request.FILES or None)
if request.POST:
if form.is_valid():
a = form.save()
a.user = request.user
a.save()
#user.save()
messages.add_message(request,messages.SUCCESS, "your Profile was added")
#return HttpResponseRedirect('/app/all')
return HttpResponseRedirect('/')
args = {}
args.update(csrf(request))
args['form'] = form
context = RequestContext(request,
{'request': request,
'user': request.user,
'form': form})
return render_to_response('subject_enroll/add_subject_enroll.html', args, context)
class Subject_EnrollListView(ListView):
"""View to display all published and visible news entries."""
template_name = "subject_enroll/subject_enroll_list.html"
def get_queryset(self):
return Subject_Enroll.objects.all()
class DetailViewMixin(object):
"""Mixin to handle different DetailView variations."""
model = Subject_Enroll
#slug_field = 'translations__slug'
def get_queryset(self):
#return Subject_Enroll.objects.all()
return Subject_Enroll.objects.lang(self.request, False)
class Subject_EnrollDetailView(DetailViewMixin, DetailView):
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(Subject_EnrollDetailView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
context['subject_enrolls'] = Subject_Enroll.objects.all()
return context
class Subject_EnrollUpdateView(UpdateView):
form_class = Subject_EnrollForm
model = Subject_Enroll
template_name = 'subject_enroll/subject_enroll_detail.html'
def get(self, request, **kwargs):
self.object = Subject_Enroll.objects.get(id=self.request.id)
form_class = self.get_form_class()
form = self.get_form(form_class)
context = self.get_context_data(object=self.object, form=form)
return self.render_to_response(context)
def get_object(self, queryset=None):
obj = Subject_Enroll.objects.get(id=self.kwargs['id'])
return obj
i try with pass form in context of Detilviewmixin
class DetailViewMixin(object):
"""Mixin to handle different DetailView variations."""
model = Subject_Enroll
#slug_field = 'translations__slug'
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(DetailViewMixin, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
#context['form'] = Subject_EnrollForm
#context['form'] = Subject_EnrollForm()
return context
def get_queryset(self):
#return Subject_Enroll.objects.all()
return Subject_Enroll.objects.lang(self.request, False)
in that form are render on template but when i press save button so it can't save record
from this code i get all field access in "subject_enroll/subject_enroll_detail.html" like {{ object.student_name }}
{{ object.enroll_status }}
so it gives value of that field but now i want to edit record in subject_enroll_detail.html template like s
subject_enroll values "draft" to "submit" with click on some buttons in subject_enroll_detail.html template
i tried with form view and updateview but can't find solution
pls help!!!
Thanks in advance!!

from django.views.generic import UpdateView
class StudentRegistrationUpdateView(UpdateView):
model = StudentRegistration
form_class = Subject_EnrollForm #don't need if you are editing all the fields
template_name = 'subject_enroll/add_subject_enroll.html'
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/class-based-views/generic-editing/#updateview
in your urls.py
import StudentRegistrationUpdateView
in urls.py don't forget to include 'pk' like below, this determines which object to be updated
url(r'student/(?P<pk>\d+)/update/$', StudentRegistrationUpdateView.as_view(), name='student_registration_update'),
