I tried using the FormPreview? class in django.contrib.formtools.preview today. But my templates rely on a RequestContext? as opposed to just the plain Context produced by all the render_to_response() calls used by FormPreview?.
Here's what I'm currently doing:
# urls.py
(r'^apples/add/$', 'apples.views.add_apple')
# views.py
class ApplePreview(FormPreview):
preview_template = 'apples/preview.html'
form_template = 'apples/form.html'
def done(self, request, clean_data):
# create apple object and save to db
# ...
return HttpResponseRedirect('/')
@login_required
@transaction.commit_on_success
def add_apple(request):
# ARGH! Can't pass in a RequestContext!
return ApplePreview(AppleForm)(request)
So I suggest modifying FormPreview? slightly so that the initialization method takes an optional context_instance arg that can be passed to all the render_to_response calls in preview_get(), preview_post() and post_post(). I've attached a diff with the suggested changes. With these changes I can write this:
@login_required
@transaction.commit_on_success
def add_apple(request):
# Yay!
return ApplePreview(AppleForm, RequestContext(request))(request)
