django-forms-builder. How do I update a form?

Question

I am using django-forms-builder in my project and there is just one thing i cant get my head around. How do i set up an update form to edit a filled out form?

Here is my attempt at making an update form for django-forms-builder

urls.py

url('forms/update/(?P<pk>\d+)/$', FormUpdateView.as_view(), name='form-update'),

views.py

class FormUpdateView(UpdateView): model = FieldEntry template_name = 'form/update_form.html' form_class = FormForForm success_url = '/assessments/all/'

update-form.py

{% render_built_form id=form_instance.id %}

you need to find a way to pass an instance of the form model into your view as form_instance — Anentropic

you're probably best sub-classing or modifying the existing FormDetail view that comes with django-forms-builder github.com/stephenmcd/django-forms-builder/blob/master/… — Anentropic

I haven't used this software yet but it could fill a spot in my arsenal so I took a stab at it. I'm not using CBV because I'm still just poking around. This is the get part only, I can expand on how to handle the post part (and preferably do it with CBV) on the weekend. It's relatively straightforward to implement post with view functions (if request.METHOD == "POST":#update the row). The render is of course just plain raw HTML but forms_builder doesn't offer any styling input. You probably want to tack the user onto the FormEntry, I don't have a good idea about authorization yet. I'll give it some thought and amend the answer.

views.py

from forms_builder.forms.models import Form def get_form(request, slug, pk): form_obj = Form.objects.get(slug=slug) form_instance = form_obj.entries.get(pk=pk) form = FormForForm(form=form_obj, instance=form_instance, context=request) return render_to_response('update_form.html', {'form':form_instance.form, 'request':request})

templates/update_form.html

{{ form.as_p }}
