I'd like to be able to use a customized form in a modelformset_factory. For example:
models.py
class Author(models.Model):
name = models.CharField()
address = models.CharField()
class AuthorForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Author
views.py
def test_render(request):
myModelFormset = modelformset_factory(Author)
items = Author.objects.all()
formsetInstance = myModelFormset(queryset = items)
return render_to_response('template',locals())
The above code works just fine, but note I'm NOT using AuthorForm. The question is how can I get the modelformset_factory to use the AuthorForm (which I plan to customize later) instead of making a default Author form?
