I have a model named Project
containing three ManyToManyField
s (member_student
, supervisor
and tag
). One (tag
) of which is excluded in the form and it has to be saved manually. So, in the view, I use save(commit=False)
because I have to change some fields of the form. After changing the fields, the form is saved and I add the tags one by one. Then, when I call save_m2m
to save ManyToManyField
, I get the error given by the save_m2m
line in views:
invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'a'
Here is my model.
class Tag(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(unique=True, max_length=60)
slug = models.SlugField(max_length=60, unique=True)
def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
if not self.id:
self.slug = slugify(self.name)
super(Tag, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
class Project(models.Model):
'''Main Project uploading'''
title = models.CharField(max_length=300)
description = models.TextField(null=True)
#year = models.ForeignKey(Year)
tag = models.ManyToManyField(Tag)
owner_student = models.ForeignKey(Student, related_name='member_student')
member_student = models.ManyToManyField(Student, blank=True, null=True)
supervisor = models.ManyToManyField(Supervisor, blank=True, null=True)
subject = models.ForeignKey(Subject)
main_document = models.FileField(upload_to='main_documents/')
supporting_document = models.FileField(upload_to='supp_documents/', blank=True, null=True)
source_code = models.FileField(upload_to='source_code/', blank=True, null=True)
screenshot = models.ImageField(upload_to='screenshots/', blank=True, null=True)
This is the forms.py
:
class ProjectForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Project
exclude = ['owner_student', 'slug', 'tag']
tag = forms.CharField(max_length=100)
Here is the View.
def add_project(request):
parameters = {}
if request.method =="POST":
upload_form = ProjectForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if upload_form.is_valid():
new_form = upload_form.save(commit=False)
mystud = Student.objects.get(user=request.user)
new_form.owner_student = mystud
new_form.save()
tags = upload_form.cleaned_data['tag']
tags = tags.split(',')
for eachtag in tags:
tag, created = Tag.objects.get_or_create(name=eachtag.strip())
tag.save()
new_form.tag.add(tag)
upload_form.save_m2m()
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse(project_page, args=(new_form.slug,)))
else:
parameters["upload_form"] = upload_form
return render_to_response('upload.html', parameters)
else:
upload_form = ProjectForm()
parameters["upload_form"] = upload_form
parameters["page_title"] = "Upload your Project"
return render_to_response('upload.html', parameters)
So, my question is how can I save the tags as well as the two other ManyToManyField
without getting error ? I guess the save_m2m
function is giving error because of the tuple returned by get_or_create
.
