Django: split form in pages using formtools and save to data base
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I've a form that has 3 sections:
1) tamanios (sizes), 2) cantidades (quantities), 3) archivos subidos (Uploaded Image).
I need to separate 1 & 2 in one page, and 3 in a different page, and save form data to data base.
As far as I've investigated this is possible using formtools. But using formtools I've had to split my model into 2 models: a) TamaniosCantidades, b) ArchivosSubidos, so they can be rendered in different "steps".
Nevertheless, I'd prefer to have only 1 model. But it's ok if the solution contains some ForeingKey to connect both splitted models.
What I need to do in order to save the form as a model object in data base?
I can't think of on how to write the 'done' method in my Wizard Class.

Just want to say that you dont have to split your model as you can process multiple forms and pages for the same model and each page or form can handle only some data of the same model. I think you are missing the customization and usability of Djangoforms.py
.

@WayBehind ty. May you post and answer to guide me on this?
– Omar Gonzales
Nov 11 '18 at 19:54
There are many "Django Forms Tutorials" available on the internet and they will do better than me fixing one form. Also look up docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/forms
– WayBehind
Nov 11 '18 at 20:00
So, if I understand correctly. I can splitt a form into different pages with built-in form propierties. Not necessary usingformtools
? (and using a single model?)
– Omar Gonzales
Nov 11 '18 at 20:04
Correct. In yourforms.py
folder create a formmypageform.py
for each page and specify the fields you want to handle by that form. Then, you will just import the form into yourview.py
of just dofrom myapp.forms import *

I need to separate 1 & 2 in one page, and 3 in a different page, and save form data to data base.

django
I've a form that has 3 sections:
1) tamanios (sizes), 2) cantidades (quantities), 3) archivos subidos (Uploaded Image).
I need to separate 1 & 2 in one page, and 3 in a different page, and save form data to data base.
As far as I've investigated this is possible using formtools. But using formtools I've had to split my model into 2 models: a) TamaniosCantidades, b) ArchivosSubidos, so they can be rendered in different "steps".
Nevertheless, I'd prefer to have only 1 model. But it's ok if the solution contains some ForeingKey to connect both splitted models.
What I need to do in order to save the form as a model object in data base?
I can't think of on how to write the 'done' method in my Wizard Class.
Original model:
class TamaniosCantidades(models.Model):
TAMANIOS = (('2x2', '2" x 2"',), ('3x3', '3" x 3"',),
('4x4', '4" x 4"',), ('5x5', '5" x 5"',))
CANTIDADES = (('50', '50',), ('100', '100',),
('150', '150',))
tamanios = models.CharField(max_length=10, choices=TAMANIOS)
cantidades = models.CharField(max_length=10, choices=CANTIDADES)
imagenes = models.FileField(upload_to='imagenes/')
uploaded_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
Modified models (splited result):
class TamaniosCantidades(models.Model):
TAMANIOS = (('2x2', '2" x 2"',), ('3x3', '3" x 3"',),
('4x4', '4" x 4"',), ('5x5', '5" x 5"',))
CANTIDADES = (('50', '50',), ('100', '100',),
('150', '150',))
tamanios = models.CharField(max_length=10, choices=TAMANIOS)
cantidades = models.CharField(max_length=10, choices=CANTIDADES)
# imagenes = models.FileField(upload_to='imagenes/')
# uploaded_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.tamanios
class ArchivosSubidos(models.Model):
# imagenes = models.FileField(upload_to='imagenes/') #commented because I was having problems uploading files with formtools
imagenes = models.CharField(max_length=100) #using charfield to test splitting
uploaded_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
views.py
class ContactWizard(SessionWizardView):
template_name = "main_app/contact_form.html"
file_storage = FileSystemStorage(location=os.path.join(settings.MEDIA_ROOT, 'imagenes'))
def done(self, form_list, **kwargs):
form_data = process_form_data(form_list)
return HttpResponseRedirect('/')
# return HttpResponseRedirect('/done.html')
# return render('main_app/done.html', {'form_data':form_data})
def process_form_data(form_list):
form_data = [form.cleaned_data for form in form_list]
return form_data
urls.py
app_name = 'main_app'
urlpatterns = [

Just want to say that you dont have to split your model as you can process multiple forms and pages for the same model and each page or form can handle only some data of the same model. I think you are missing the customization and usability of Djangoforms.py

There are many "Django Forms Tutorials" available on the internet and they will do better than me fixing one form. Also look up docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/forms

So, if I understand correctly. I can splitt a form into different pages with built-in form propierties. Not necessary usingformtools
? (and using a single model?)
– Omar Gonzales
Nov 11 '18 at 20:04
Correct. In yourforms.py
folder create a formmypageform.py
for each page and specify the fields you want to handle by that form. Then, you will just import the form into yourview.py
of just dofrom myapp.forms import *

Using formtools may not be a good option(IMHO: it gives less control over your form), instead you can use Django Form and Modelform for multistep forms, and use django session to store the data in each step. In final step, you can pop those session data and store it in model. For example:
# Lets declare our choices in a global scope rather than inside models
TAMANIOS = (('2x2', '2" x 2"',), ('3x3', '3" x 3"',),
('4x4', '4" x 4"',), ('5x5', '5" x 5"',))
CANTIDADES = (('50', '50',), ('100', '100',),
('150', '150',))
# Declare Forms
class StepOneForm(forms.Form):
tamanios = forms.ChoiceField(choices=TAMANIOS)
class StepTwoForm(forms.Form):
cantidades = forms.ChoiceField(choices=CANTIDADES)
# Third step is attached to the model directly, we will do some tweaks inside the save method of this form
class StepThreeForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = TamaniosCantidades
fields = ('imagenes',)
# Views
# First Two steps are basic FormViews, because it will be used just to store data in session
class StepOneView(FormView):
form_class = StepOneForm
template_name = 'step_one.html'
success_url = '/step-two/'
def get_initials(self):
# pre-populate form if someone goes back and forth between forms
initial = super(StepOneView, self).get_initial()
initial['tamanios'] = self.request.session.get('tamanios', None)
return initial
def form_valid(self, form):
# In form_valid method we can access the form data in dict format
# and will store it in django session
self.request.session['tamanios'] = form.cleaned_data.get('tamanios')
return HttpResponseRedirect(self.get_success_url())
class StepTwoView(FormView):
form_class = StepTwoForm
template_name = 'step_two.html'
success_url = '/step-three/'
def get_initials(self):
# pre-populate form if someone goes back and forth between forms
initial = super(StepOneView, self).get_initial()
initial['cantidades'] = self.request.session.get('cantidades', None)
return initial
def form_valid(self, form):
# same as StepOneView
self.request.session['cantidades'] = form.cleaned_data.get('cantidades')
return HttpResponseRedirect(self.get_success_url())
# here we are going to use CreateView to save the Third step ModelForm
class StepThreeView(CreateView):
form_class = StepThreeForm
template_name = 'step_three.html'
success_url = '/thank-you/'
def form_valid(self, form):
form.instance.tamanios = self.request.session.get('tamanios') # get tamanios from session
form.instance.cantidades = self.request.session.get('cantidades') # get cantidades from session
del self.request.session['cantidades'] # delete cantidades value from session
del self.request.session['tamanios'] # delete tamanios value from session
self.request.session.modified = True
return super(StepThreeView, self).form_valid(form)
# template
# step_one.html, step_two.html, step_three.html can be all the same as following code
<form method="post">{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_p }}
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
# urls
path('step-one/', StepOneView.as_view()),
path('step-two/', StepTwoView.as_view()),
path('step-three/', StepThreeView.as_view()),
path('thank-you/', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="thank-you.html")),
In this approach, you don't need to split the model, and store the data in last step. FYI: its untested code, but I hope it will put you in right direction for implementation.
Maybe unrelated, but you can look into this repository where there is a simple multistep form is implemented.

this is the approach that you should take if you are open to not using formtools.

@ruddra could you tell me how to generate the template: template_name = 'step_one.html'? I usually send and empy form, but not idea how to do that with this FormView.

In this approach, you don't need to split the model, and store the data in last step. FYI: its untested code, but I hope it will put you in right direction for implementation.
Maybe unrelated, but you can look into this repository where there is a simple multistep form is implemented.

@ruddra could you tell me how to generate the template: template_name = 'step_one.html'? I usually send and empy form, but not idea how to do that with this FormView.

Using formtools may not be a good option(IMHO: it gives less control over your form), instead you can use Django Form and Modelform for multistep forms, and use django session to store the data in each step. In final step, you can pop those session data and store it in model. For example:
# Lets declare our choices in a global scope rather than inside models
TAMANIOS = (('2x2', '2" x 2"',), ('3x3', '3" x 3"',),
('4x4', '4" x 4"',), ('5x5', '5" x 5"',))
CANTIDADES = (('50', '50',), ('100', '100',),
('150', '150',))
# Declare Forms
class StepOneForm(forms.Form):
tamanios = forms.ChoiceField(choices=TAMANIOS)
class StepTwoForm(forms.Form):
cantidades = forms.ChoiceField(choices=CANTIDADES)
# Third step is attached to the model directly, we will do some tweaks inside the save method of this form
class StepThreeForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = TamaniosCantidades
fields = ('imagenes',)
# Views
# First Two steps are basic FormViews, because it will be used just to store data in session
class StepOneView(FormView):
form_class = StepOneForm
template_name = 'step_one.html'
success_url = '/step-two/'
def get_initials(self):
# pre-populate form if someone goes back and forth between forms
initial = super(StepOneView, self).get_initial()
initial['tamanios'] = self.request.session.get('tamanios', None)
return initial
def form_valid(self, form):
# In form_valid method we can access the form data in dict format
# and will store it in django session
self.request.session['tamanios'] = form.cleaned_data.get('tamanios')
return HttpResponseRedirect(self.get_success_url())
class StepTwoView(FormView):
form_class = StepTwoForm
template_name = 'step_two.html'
success_url = '/step-three/'
def get_initials(self):
# pre-populate form if someone goes back and forth between forms
initial = super(StepOneView, self).get_initial()
initial['cantidades'] = self.request.session.get('cantidades', None)
return initial
def form_valid(self, form):
# same as StepOneView
self.request.session['cantidades'] = form.cleaned_data.get('cantidades')
return HttpResponseRedirect(self.get_success_url())
# here we are going to use CreateView to save the Third step ModelForm
class StepThreeView(CreateView):
form_class = StepThreeForm
template_name = 'step_three.html'
success_url = '/thank-you/'
def form_valid(self, form):
form.instance.tamanios = self.request.session.get('tamanios') # get tamanios from session
form.instance.cantidades = self.request.session.get('cantidades') # get cantidades from session
del self.request.session['cantidades'] # delete cantidades value from session
del self.request.session['tamanios'] # delete tamanios value from session
self.request.session.modified = True
return super(StepThreeView, self).form_valid(form)
# template
# step_one.html, step_two.html, step_three.html can be all the same as following code
<form method="post">{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_p }}
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
# urls

Just want to say that you dont have to split your model as you can process multiple forms and pages for the same model and each page or form can handle only some data of the same model. I think you are missing the customization and usability of Django
forms.py

@WayBehind ty. May you post and answer to guide me on this?
– Omar Gonzales
Nov 11 '18 at 19:54
There are many "Django Forms Tutorials" available on the internet and they will do better than me fixing one form. Also look up docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/forms
– WayBehind
Nov 11 '18 at 20:00
So, if I understand correctly. I can splitt a form into different pages with built-in form propierties. Not necessary using
formtools
? (and using a single model?)– Omar Gonzales
Nov 11 '18 at 20:04
Correct. In your
forms.py
folder create a formmypageform.py
for each page and specify the fields you want to handle by that form. Then, you will just import the form into yourview.py
of just dofrom myapp.forms import *
