Django not generating "selected='selected'" for html select list representing a booleanfield
Please excuse th开发者_JS百科e long code, but the question itself is short.
Using Django 1.2.1 with MySQL Server version: 5.1.37 with mysqldb 1.2.2 on Python 2.5
For the model
QUALIFICATION_TYPE_CHOICES = ((1, 'WGH'), (2, 'PQR'))
class Qualification(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
qualification_type = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(choices=QUALIFICATION_TYPE_CHOICES)
is_active = models.BooleanField("Item status",db_index=True,help_text="Only active items are visible on rest of this website")
def __unicode__(self):
return u'%s' % (self.name)
class Meta:
ordering = ['qualification_type', 'name']
unique_together = (("qualification_type", "name"),)
with a custom modelform
STATUS_CHOICES = ((0, 'Inactive'), (1, 'Active'))
class EditQualificationForm(forms.ModelForm):
name = forms.CharField(label='* Unique Name', max_length=50,help_text="(Required, max 50 characters)",widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'class':'textInput',}))
qualification_type = forms.TypedChoiceField(label='Type',coerce=int,empty_value=None,choices=QUALIFICATION_TYPE_CHOICES,widget=forms.Select(attrs={'class':'selectInput',}))
is_active = forms.TypedChoiceField(label='* Is this Qualification active?',help_text="xyz",coerce=int,empty_value=0, choices=STATUS_CHOICES,widget=forms.Select(attrs={'class':'selectInput',}))
class Meta:
model = Qualification
template code
{% if form.non_field_errors %}
<div class="error">
{% for error in form.non_field_errors %}
<p class="errorField"><strong>{{ error }}</strong></p>
{% endfor %}
</div>
{% endif %}
{% for field in form.visible_fields %}
{% if field.errors %}
<div class="ctrlHolder error">
{% for error in field.errors %}
<p class="errorField"><strong>{{ error }}</strong></p>
{% endfor %}
{% else %}
<div class="ctrlHolder">
{% endif %}
{{ field.label_tag }}
{{ field }}
<p class="formHint">{{ field.help_text }}</p>
</div>
{% endfor %}
{% for hidden in form.hidden_fields %}
{{ hidden }}
{% endfor %}
is generating the following output
<div class="ctrlHolder">
<label for="id_qualification_type">Type</label>
<select id="id_qualification_type" class="selectInput" name="qualification_type">
<option value="1" selected="selected">WGH</option>
<option value="2">PQR</option>
</select>
<p class="formHint"></p>
</div>
<div class="ctrlHolder">
<label for="id_is_active">* Is this Qualification active?</label>
<select id="id_is_active" class="selectInput" name="is_active">
<option value="0">Inactive</option>
<option value="1">Active</option>
</select>
<p class="formHint">xyz</p>
</div>
so the html select list for qualification_type is getting a proper <option value="1" selected="selected">WGH</option>
but the proper option for is_active is not getting selected (there is no selected="selected"
in the generated html for is_active).
This used to work earlier. I had mapped boolean choices to 0 and 1 and it fit in nicely with mysql and python. I somehow missed to notice at what point of time this stopped generating the correct html. But I'm positive it worked pre-Django-1.2.1.
I am guessing it has got to do with the unnecessary empty_value
on the is_active
form field.
OK, I found it. I have gone through the release notes a couple of times, so I really don't know how I missed it.
