Trying to simplify the last post

[vanderkerkoff]

Hello there

I'm trying to make this as easy as possible, but it's pretty
complicated.

Here's my form

class EventBookForm(ModelForm):
"""A form for governors to email to govwales with details of which
events they wish to attend"""
title = CharField()
firstname = CharField()
surname = CharField()
address = CharField(widget=Textarea(attrs={'rows': 5, 'cols': 80}))
postcode = CharField()
telephone = CharField()
email = EmailField()
govtype = Field(widget=Select(choices=GOVTYPELIST))
schoolname = CharField(widget=Textarea(attrs={'rows': 2, 'cols':
60}))
authority = CharField()
workshops = MultipleChoiceField()
requirements = CharField(widget=Textarea(attrs={'rows': 5, 'cols':
80}))

class Meta:
model = Event

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(EventBookForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
workshop_choices = []
data = Workshop.objects.filter(evt_workshop='80')
print data
for d in data:
workshop_choices.append((d.title,d.title))

self.fields['workshops']=MultipleChoiceField(widget=CheckboxSelectMultiple,
choices=workshop_choices, required=False)


As you can see I've hard coded the id of the event into this section

data = Workshop.objects.filter(evt_workshop='80')

If I could pass the request object into the form, or the event ID
itself,I could get at the right data for the workshop_choices list.

Here's the view

Note that I still haven't worked out how I send only the selected/
ticked multiple items yet

def event_book(request,edate, eslug):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = EventBookForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
the_rufurl = request.META['HTTP_REFERER']
the_url = request.META['HTTP_REFERER'].split('/')
eventdate = "%s-%s-%s" % (the_url[5], the_url[6], the_url[7])
eventslug = the_url[8]
eventdetails = Event.objects.filter(start_date=eventdate)
for d in eventdetails:
eventid = d.id
eventtitle = d.title
print "event title" + eventtitle
eventdate = d.start_date
eventstarttime = d.start_time
eventendtime = d.end_time
eventvenue = d.venue
workshops = Workshop.objects.filter(evt_workshop=d.id)

workshoptitle = w.title
workshoptitlearray = workshoptitlearray + ', ' + w.title
to = ['ton...@gmail.com','con...@governorswales.org.uk']

html_content = htmllinksuggestion

msg = EmailMultiAlternatives(subject, text_content, from_email, to,
headers = {'Reply-To': 'mjda...@creativebeans.co.uk'})
msg.attach_alternative(html_content, "text/html")
msg.send()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/forms/eventbook/thankyou/')
else:
form = EventBookForm()
the_refurl = request.META['HTTP_REFERER']
the_url = request.META['HTTP_REFERER'].split('/')
if the_url[3] == 'events':
ventdate = the_url[4] + '-' + the_url[5] + '-' + the_url[6]
ventslug = the_url[7]
else:
ventdate = "%s-%s-%s" % (the_url[5], the_url[6], the_url[7])
ventslug = the_url[8]
eventdate = "%s-%s-%s" % (the_url[5], the_url[6], the_url[7])
eventdetail = Event.objects.filter(slug=ventslug,start_date=ventdate)
for d in eventdetail:
workshopid = d.id
workshop = Workshop.objects.filter(evt_workshop=workshopid)
cats = formextra.objects.all()
context = Context({'form': form, 'cats': cats, 'eventdetail':
eventdetail, 'workshop': workshop })
return render_to_response('forms/eventbookform.html', context,
context_instance=RequestContext(request))

Any help would be gratefully received.

So why not do this? What's stopping you?

I can't read the rest of the code, because of the lack of indentation. I would say, though, that you're doing a lot of HTML manipulation in the view - that sort of thing is best done in a template.
