Getting radio boxes with ModelForm

[Andy Dietler]

I'm trying to make one of the fields in my model display radio buttons
with the options 1-5. I can't find a way to do this with a model form
and I can't get anything I find in documentation to work properly.

What I have below results in me getting the following error:
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'widget'

Any help would be much appreciated. - Andy

rating_choices = (
(1, '1'),
(2, '2'),
(3, '3'),
(4, '4'),
(5, '5'),
)

class Rating(models.Model):
rating = models.IntegerField(widget=forms.RadioSelect
(choices=rating_choices),label="")

You're confusing models and forms. You can't set things like widgets
on the model, you do that on a form.

You need to define a model form and override the definition of
'rating' to include the widget parameter. I presume you're looking to
use this in the admin, in which case you need to set the form
attribute of your rating admin class to the new form you've defined.

Thanks.

How do I overwrite the definition of rating, like this?:

class Rating(models.Model):
rating = models.IntegerField()


class ShowForm_Rate(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Rating
rating = forms.ChoiceField(widget=forms.RadioSelect
(choices=rating_choices),label="")

Move the field definition from the Meta class out into the outer class and you're good to go.
