ModelFormSet to edit all entries for a model class

I have a simple model class:

class Category(BaseModel):
    categoryText = db.StringProperty()
    parentCat = db.IntegerProperty()

I want to create a model formset to display all entries of category:

form class:

class CategoryForm(forms.ModelForm):
    categoryText = forms.CharField()
    class Meta:
        model = Category  

View.py

def showAllCate开发者_JAVA技巧gories:
    CategoryFormSet = modelformset_factory(Category)

    if request.POST:
       formset = CategoryFormSet(request.POST)
       if formset.is_valid():
           formset.save()

    else:
       formset = CategoryFormSet(Category.objects.all())
     return render_to_response('showcat.html',{'formset':formset})

not sure what I'm doing wrong: I get this error: 'StringProperty' object has no attribute 'editable'

This should be really simple but it's been a challenge.

I realize this is a little bit old, but to fix your "'ModelFormOptions' object has no attribute 'many_to_many'" error, you might want to try changing the following code:

CategoryFormSet = modelformset_factory(CategoryForm)

to

CategoryFormSet = modelformset_factory(Category) 

Use the name of the model instead.

Try this:

view.py

def showAllCategories(request):
    CategoryFormSet = modelformset_factory(CategoryForm)
    if request.method=='POST':
        formset = CategoryFormset(request.POST)
        if formset.is_valid():
            ...
            formset.save()
            ...
    else:
        formset = CategoryFormset(queryset=Category.objects.all())
