#8040 closed (fixed)

SlugField format not enforced

Description

models.SlugField is documented as "a short label for something, containing only letters, numbers, underscores or hyphens."

However, with forms.ModelForm and newforms-admin, this formatting is not enforced. The ModelForms documentation instead states that models.SlugField is represented by a forms.CharField (ie. validation occurs).

models.SlugField.formfield() should return a forms.RegexField suitable for validating the field as a slug (and the ModelForms documentation should reflect this).

Should read:

...(ie. no validation occurs)

;)

Possibly related to model level validation propagation (a spoonful of sugar with that?)

Has patch: set

I implemented that validation using a RegexField, but all the other models fields that need syntax validation define their own forms.Field subclass. I was reluctant to go ahead and add that at this point.

test properly fails before applying fix, passes after, validation then works correctly after patch is applied - looks good to me :)

(In [8477]) Fixed #8040 -- SlugField now returns a proper formfield to deal with validation. Thanks Daniel Pope for the ticket and patch.

(In [8616]) Removed oldforms, validators, and related code:

  • Removed Manipulator, AutomaticManipulator, and related classes.
  • Removed oldforms specific bits from model fields:
    • Removed validator_list and core arguments from constructors.
    • Removed the methods:
      • get_manipulator_field_names
      • get_manipulator_field_objs
      • get_manipulator_fields
      • get_manipulator_new_data
      • prepare_field_objs_and_params
      • get_follow
    • Renamed flatten_data method to value_to_string for better alignment with its use by the serialization framework, which was the only remaining code using flatten_data.
  • Removed oldforms methods from django.db.models.Options class: get_followed_related_objects, get_data_holders, get_follow, and has_field_type.
  • Removed oldforms-admin specific options from django.db.models.fields.related classes: num_in_admin, min_num_in_admin, max_num_in_admin, num_extra_on_change, and edit_inline.
  • Serialization framework
    • Serializer.get_string_value now calls the model fields' renamed value_to_string methods.
    • Removed a special-casing of models.DateTimeField in core.serializers.base.Serializer.get_string_value that's handled by django.db.models.fields.DateTimeField.value_to_string.
  • Removed django.core.validators:
    • Moved ValidationError exception to django.core.exceptions.
    • For the couple places that were using validators, brought over the necessary code to maintain the same functionality.
  • Introduced a SlugField form field for validation and to compliment the SlugField model field (refs #8040).
  • Removed an oldforms-style model creation hack (refs #2160).
