Hi Tosin,

I assume you have already followed the Django tutorial to get a grasp of
the basics. Then have a look here:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/topics/forms/

to implement what you need and feel free to ask any specific questions
you might have.

Kind regards,

Hi

I got something like this to work with

var_selection = forms.MultipleChoiceField(required=False, widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple, choices=a_list_that_i_prepared_previously,)

thanks for the response but django doc still doesn't explain or help much, pls see attached file, the project allows user select list of services they want, by clicking on  the checkbox(something like selecting multiple mails in your mail account), i have it already in html and Js to sum the price up but i need these selected services to be saved to the db, now my question is it how do i do that using django

Dear Tosin

In my html template I used

<form method="post">{% csrf_token %}
        {{ form.as_p }}
        <input type="submit" value="Assign">

and in my views.py in the corresponding view I have a section where I check if the method is POST:

if request.method == 'POST':

Later I do this:

var_list_of_checked_boxes = request.POST.getlist('var_selection')
