Tough finding a form with dynamic fields out there

[Michael da Silva Pereira]

Hi,

Trying a form with dynamic fields, but having no luck. Also not finding any working examples out there :/

This is what I'm currently trying to use:

class MboxReg(forms.Form):

    def __init__(self, mailboxes, *args, **kwargs):

        super(MboxReg, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        # now we add each question individually

        for i in range(int(mailboxes)):

            self.fields["mailbox_"+str(i)] = forms.CharField(max_length=128)

            self.fields["firstname_"+str(i)] = forms.CharField(max_length=128)

            self.fields["lastname_"+str(i)] = forms.CharField(max_length=128)

            self.fields["password_"+str(i)] = forms.CharField(max_length=128)

    domain = forms.CharField(max_length=128)

    customer = forms.CharField(max_length=128)

    licenses = forms.IntegerField()

Called with:

form = MboxReg(request.POST, int(mailboxes))

mailboxes is the amount of mailboxes requested to be added.

Error:

Exception Value:

int() argument must be a string or a number, not 'QueryDict'

On the

•         for i in range(int(mailboxes)):

So, compare this:

    def __init__(self, mailboxes, *args, **kwargs):

 with how you're calling it:

 

form = MboxReg(request.POST, int(mailboxes))

and you should see why you're getting this: 

 

Error:

Exception Value:

int() argument must be a string or a number, not 'QueryDict'

On the

•         for i in range(int(mailboxes)):

Daniel has point out the issue, but have a look at this speech from Django Con last year http://blip.tv/djangocon/advanced-django-form-usage-5573287. It has some great stuff in there.
