Django form multiple choice
hope this helps :D
from django import forms
class Test(forms.Form):
OPTIONS = (
("a", "A"),
("b", "B"),
)
name = forms.MultipleChoiceField(widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple,
choices=OPTIONS)
forms.py
class SomeForm(forms.Form):
CHOICES = (('a','a'),
('b','b'),
('c','c'),
('d','d'),)
picked = forms.MultipleChoiceField(choices=CHOICES, widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple())
views.py
def some_view(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = SomeForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
picked = form.cleaned_data.get('picked')
# do something with your results
else:
form = SomeForm
return render_to_response('some_template.html', {'form':form },
context_instance=RequestContext(request))
some_template.html
<form method='post'>
{{ form.as_p }}
<input type='submit' value='submit'>
</form>
results:
explanation:
choices:
The first element in each tuple is the actual value to be stored. The second element is the human-readable name for the option.
getting selected boxes:
form.cleaned_data.get('picked')
will result in a list of the 'actual values'. For example, if I replaced the # do something with your results
with print picked
you see:
[u'a', u'c']
in your console
