Hello,

I'm starting to use Django now and I would need some orientations in order to create a Form Wizard.

The idea is simple:

• The first form will contain only one field to type the name of a directory.
• The content of the second form, will depend on the directory name that was entered and the form fields will be a list of files that exist within that directory in the form of checkbox.

I've been checking the documentation and I got the idea in how to build the forms. What I'm not sure yet, it is in relation to these questions:

1. I need to validate if the directory exists before you go to the next step. Where would be the right place for this? It would be right to think that I need to use "clean_ <fieldname>" method in a subclass form?

2. Regarding the second form (step 2), which method and class I should use in order to process the list of existing files in that directory? I imagine it would be somewhere between the steps, but I'm not so sure how and where...

3. How could I set the fields in the second form dynamically based on the existing files in that directory?

Any tips and advice will be very welcome.

Thanks in advance, 

Leandro
