You can't really do it in a djangoish way (without creating your own custom stuff as the answers suggest), and I would suggest that you just restrict it yourself in your views and forms.

I haven't quite seen a good example yet (post one if you have one), but I think that the correct way of handling this is with MultiValueField.

In urls.py, create a url like url(r'^imdbfill/(?P<id>\d+)/$', 'views.imdb_fill', name="imdb_fill")

Then in views.py, create a method with the signature def imdb_fill(request, id, template_name="imdb_fill")

From there you can use the id and do whatever you want. You are going to have to do your own research on what to do in your views.py method, but that should get you started.

I'm sorry I didn't understand what you were doing. Passing arguments to the form is currently being worked on:
http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/9150

The milestone is set to 1.2, so until then, you should probably stop using generics (the create_object function) for this task and leave yourself a note to go back to generics when there is support for passing parameters to forms.

If you have: data = {'sok': [1, 10] , 'sao': [1, 10],'sok&sao':[2,20] } and you put {'data': data} into the response,

{% for key, val in data.items %}
{{key}} {{val.0}} {{var.1}}
{% endfor %}

When you create, try user=request.user.

Also, you may want to check out django-authority.

I want to have a mapping widget that controls several different fields. It seems that in django there is a one-to-one relationship between widgets and fields. What should I do?

In order to use contrib.gis with postgres, you do not only need to install postgis, but create a spatial database as well.

(This fixed the problem.)

I use urllib2 and HTMLparser

Hi, I've done a lot of searching and I've found other people who have this same problem, but I have not found a solution. As soon as I add 'django.contrib.gis' to my installed apps and run ./manage.py syncdb, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I have postgis installed, and I can connect to the db with ./manage.py dbshell. What do I need to do to fix this?
