How to save/recall config settings

[tylerecouture]

Thanks for the awesome app! (I think..not quite working for me yet..)

I have it installed, and can get a form with some keys and values, but they won't save? I'm just using the simple sample code you provided, but when I go back to the config form it has the initial values again instead of the updates values.

Did you register the form?

Try accessing one of the config values within the view, i.e:

from djconfig import config

def my_view(req):
    config.my_key  # This will raise AttributeError when your form is not registered

Thanks! I had the wrong name when registering the form.

I tried using a ModelChoiceField and it threw an error:

class MyConfigForm(ConfigForm):

   my_first_key = forms.BooleanField(required=False)
   my_second_key = forms.IntegerField()
   my_current_semester = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset = Semester.objects.all())

"Database is trying to update a relational field of type TextField with a value of type Semester. Make sure you are setting the correct relations"

Is this a limitation or another error on my part? Thanks for the replies!

That is a limitation.

Although, there is probably a workaround, this may work:

class MyConfigForm(ConfigForm):

    my_first_key = forms.BooleanField(required=False)
    my_second_key = forms.IntegerField()
    my_current_semester = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=Semester.objects.all())

    def clean_my_current_semester(self):
        # Untested, may not even work
        return self.cleaned_data['my_current_semester'].pk

Let me know if it works.

It works! That's so cool! =D

Great!

I'm leaving this open so I don't forget to raise a exception if the form is not registered when calling save().
