Field.rel is now deprecated. Rel objects have now also remote_field
attribute. This means that self == self.remote_field.remote_field.
In addition, made the Rel objects a bit more like Field objects. Still,
marked ManyToManyFields as null=True.
Custom form fields having a `queryset` attribute but no
`limit_choices_to` could no longer be used in ModelForms.
Refs #2445.
Thanks to artscoop for the report.
ForeignKey or ManyToManyField attribute ``limit_choices_to`` can now
be a callable that returns either a ``Q`` object or a dict.
Thanks michael at actrix.gen.nz for the original suggestion.
Overriding the error messages now works for both unique fields, unique_together
and unique_for_date.
This patch changed the overriding logic to allow customizing NON_FIELD_ERRORS
since previously only fields' errors were customizable.
Refs #20199.
Thanks leahculver for the suggestion.
This is the result of Christopher Medrela's 2013 Summer of Code project.
Thanks also to Preston Holmes, Tim Graham, Anssi Kääriäinen, Florian
Apolloner, and Alex Gaynor for review notes along the way.
Also: Fixes#8579, fixes#3055, fixes#19844.
On Python 3 sorting Fields mixed with GenericForeignKeys doesn't work
as GenericForeignKey isn't a subclass of django.db.models.fields.Field.
Refs #21428.
The GenericRelation refactoring removed GenericRelations from
model._meta.many_to_many. This had the side effect of disallowing
editable GenericRelations in ModelForms. Editable GenericRelations
aren't officially supported, but if we don't fix this we don't offer any
upgrade path for those who used the ability to set editable=True
in GenericRelation subclass.
Thanks to Trac alias joshcartme for the report and stephencmd and Loic
for working on this issue.
model_to_dict() (used when rendering forms) queries the database
to get the list of primary keys for ManyToMany fields. This is
unnecessary if the field queryset has been prefetched, all the
keys are already in memory and can be obtained with a simple
iteration.
When a formset contained deletion for an existing instance, and the
instance was already deleted, django threw an exception. A common cause for
this was resubmit of the formset.
Original patch by Trac alias olau.
In addition this commit cleaned some code in _construct_form(). This
was needed as the primary key value the user submitted wasn't converted
correctly to python value in case the primary key field was also a
related field.
The __eq__ method now considers two instances without primary key value
equal only when they have same id(). The __hash__ method raises
TypeError for no primary key case.
Fixed#18864, fixed#18250
Thanks to Tim Graham for docs review.
Don't try to be smart about building a good-looking help string
because it evaluates translations too early, simply use the same old
strategy as before. Thanks Donald Stufft for the report.
Also, actually fix the case reported by the OP by special-casing
CheckboxSelectMultiple.
Added tests.
Refs #9321.
This is backward incompatible for custom form field/widgets that rely
on the hard-coded 'Hold down "Control", or "Command" on a Mac, to select
more than one.' sentence.
Application that use standard model form fields and widgets aren't
affected but need to start handling these help texts by themselves
before Django 1.8.
For more details, see the related release notes and deprecation timeline
sections added with this commit.
This also updates all dependent functionality, including modelform_factory
and modelformset_factory, and the generic views `ModelFormMixin`,
`CreateView` and `UpdateView` which gain a new `fields` attribute.
This is provided as a new "validate_max" formset_factory option defaulting to
False, since the non-validating behavior of max_num is longstanding, and there
is certainly code relying on it. (In fact, even the Django admin relies on it
for the case where there are more existing inlines than the given max_num). It
may be that at some point we want to deprecate validate_max=False and
eventually remove the option, but this commit takes no steps in that direction.
This also fixes the DoS-prevention absolute_max enforcement so that it causes a
form validation error rather than an IndexError, and ensures that absolute_max
is always 1000 more than max_num, to prevent surprising changes in behavior
with max_num close to absolute_max.
Lastly, this commit fixes the previous inconsistency between a regular formset
and a model formset in the precedence of max_num and initial data. Previously
in a regular formset, if the provided initial data was longer than max_num, it
was truncated; in a model formset, all initial forms would be displayed
regardless of max_num. Now regular formsets are the same as model formsets; all
initial forms are displayed, even if more than max_num. (But if validate_max is
True, submitting these forms will result in a "too many forms" validation
error!) This combination of behaviors was chosen to keep the max_num validation
simple and consistent, and avoid silent data loss due to truncation of initial
data.
Thanks to Preston for discussion of the design choices.
When calling model_to_dict, improve performance of the generated SQL by
using values_list to determine primary keys of many to many objects. Add
a specific test for this function, test_model_to_dict_many_to_many
Thanks to brian for the original report and suggested fix.
In Python 3, the str type has an __iter__ attribute. Therefore, the
presence of an __iter__ attribute is not sufficient to distinguish
'standard' iterables (list, tuple) from strings.
* Renamed smart_unicode to smart_text (but kept the old name under
Python 2 for backwards compatibility).
* Renamed smart_str to smart_bytes.
* Re-introduced smart_str as an alias for smart_text under Python 3
and smart_bytes under Python 2 (which is backwards compatible).
Thus smart_str always returns a str objects.
* Used the new smart_str in a few places where both Python 2 and 3
want a str.
