Try this:

    some_var = request.POST.getlist(&#39;checks&#39;)

`some_var` will contain `[1,3,4]` (those values that were checked)

This will fix your problem,

    some_var = request.POST.getlist(&#39;checks[]&#39;)

If you write `some_var = request.POST.getlist(&#39;checks&#39;)` may not work properly.



this is will work:

    &lt;input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;checks[]&quot; value=&quot;1&quot; /&gt;
    &lt;input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;checks[]&quot; value=&quot;2&quot; /&gt;
    &lt;input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;checks[]&quot; value=&quot;3&quot; /&gt;
    &lt;input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;checks[]&quot; value=&quot;4&quot; /&gt;
    
views.py

    some_var = request.POST.getlist(&#39;checks[]&#39;)

In C# you can do this:  

    foo = string.Format(&quot;{0} {1} {2} {3} ...&quot;, &quot;aa&quot;, &quot;bb&quot;, &quot;cc&quot; ...);

This method `Format()` accepts infinite parameters, being the first one how the string should be formatted and the rest are values to be put in the string.

Today I&#39;ve come to a situation where I had to get a set of strings and test them, then I remembered this language functionality, but I had no clue. After a few unsuccessful web searches, I&#39;ve realised it would be more prudent to just get an array, which didn&#39;t make me quite satisfied.

**Q:** How do I make a function that accepts infinite parameters? And how do I use it ?

I am looking to create a javascript &quot;widget&quot; that can be hosted on other sites. For example. I want to host the javascript code on my site:

`http://scripts.mysite.com/mywidget.js`

(Think of it like Google Analytics).

Basically I want to distribute data via this javascript. But what I am unsure of is:

- Are the rules different for development when creating a javascript for another site (cross site)
- Are there any websites that explain these differences?

Hi I have an array of checkboxes e.g.

    &lt;input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;checks[]&quot; value=&quot;1&quot; /&gt;
    &lt;input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;checks[]&quot; value=&quot;2&quot; /&gt;
    &lt;input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;checks[]&quot; value=&quot;3&quot; /&gt;
    &lt;input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;checks[]&quot; value=&quot;4&quot; /&gt;

How do I access these in the view.py if more than one is selected?

I have tried 

    request.POST[&#39;checks&#39;]

but that only gives me the last value.  What I want is all the ones that have been selected in a list e.g. 1,3,4

Thanks

I&#39;m trying to convert a server side Ajax response script into a Django HttpResponse, but apparently it&#39;s not working.

This is the server-side script:

    /* RECEIVE VALUE */
    $validateValue=$_POST[&#39;validateValue&#39;];
    $validateId=$_POST[&#39;validateId&#39;];
    $validateError=$_POST[&#39;validateError&#39;];

    /* RETURN VALUE */
    $arrayToJs = array();
    $arrayToJs[0] = $validateId;
    $arrayToJs[1] = $validateError;

    if($validateValue ==&quot;Testuser&quot;){  // Validate??
        $arrayToJs[2] = &quot;true&quot;;       // RETURN TRUE
        echo &#39;{&quot;jsonValidateReturn&quot;:&#39;.json_encode($arrayToJs).&#39;}&#39;;  // RETURN ARRAY WITH success
    }
    else{
        for($x=0;$x&lt;1000000;$x++){
            if($x == 990000){
                $arrayToJs[2] = &quot;false&quot;;
                echo &#39;{&quot;jsonValidateReturn&quot;:&#39;.json_encode($arrayToJs).&#39;}&#39;;   // RETURNS ARRAY WITH ERROR.
            }
        }
    }

And this is the converted code

    def validate_user(request):
        if request.method == &#39;POST&#39;:
            vld_value = request.POST.get(&#39;validateValue&#39;)
            vld_id = request.POST.get(&#39;validateId&#39;)
            vld_error = request.POST.get(&#39;validateError&#39;)

            array_to_js = [vld_id, vld_error, False]

            if vld_value == &quot;TestUser&quot;:
                array_to_js[2] = True
                x = simplejson.dumps(array_to_js)
                return HttpResponse(x)
            else:
                array_to_js[2] = False
                x = simplejson.dumps(array_to_js)
                error = &#39;Error&#39;
                return render_to_response(&#39;index.html&#39;,{&#39;error&#39;:error},context_instance=RequestContext(request))
        return render_to_response(&#39;index.html&#39;,context_instance=RequestContext(request))

I&#39;m using simplejson to encode the Python list (so it will return a JSON array). I couldn&#39;t figure out the problem yet. But I think that I did something wrong about the &#39;echo&#39;.

At the root page of the admin site where registered models appear, I want to hide several models that are registered to the Django admin.

If I directly unregister those, I am not able to add new records as the add new symbol &quot;+&quot; dissapears.


How can this be done ?

I have some CSV data and I want to import into django models using the example CSV data:

    1;&quot;02-01-101101&quot;;&quot;Worm Gear HRF 50&quot;;&quot;Ratio 1 : 10&quot;;&quot;input shaft, output shaft, direction A, color dark green&quot;;

I have some django models named Product. In Product there are some fields like `name`, `description` and `price`. I want something like this:

    product=Product()
    product.name = &quot;Worm Gear HRF 70(02-01-101116)&quot;
    product.description = &quot;input shaft, output shaft, direction A, color dark green&quot;
    product.price = 100

how to import csv data into django models

I&#39;m struggling getting my head around the Django&#39;s ORM. What I want to do is get a list of distinct values within a field on my table .... the equivalent of one of the following:

    SELECT DISTINCT myfieldname FROM mytable

(or alternatively)

    SELECT myfieldname FROM mytable GROUP BY myfieldname

I&#39;d at least like to do it the Django way before resorting to raw sql.
For example, with a table:

&gt;id, street, city
&gt;
&gt;1, Main Street, Hull
&gt;
&gt;2, Other Street, Hull
&gt;
&gt;3, Bibble Way, Leicester
&gt;
&gt;4, Another Way, Leicester
&gt;
&gt;5, High Street, Londidium

I&#39;d like to get: 
&gt;Hull, Leicester, Londidium.

I have a form like:

    #forms.py
    from django import forms
    
    class MyForm(forms.Form):
        title = forms.CharField()
        file = forms.FileField()
    
    
    #tests.py
    from django.test import TestCase
    from forms import MyForm
    
    class FormTestCase(TestCase)
        def test_form(self):
            upload_file = open(&#39;path/to/file&#39;, &#39;r&#39;)
            post_dict = {&#39;title&#39;: &#39;Test Title&#39;}
            file_dict = {} #??????
            form = MyForm(post_dict, file_dict)
            self.assertTrue(form.is_valid())

How do I construct the *file_dict* to pass *upload_file* to the form?


Unit Testing a Django Form with a FileField

I have the following form code:

    # forms.py
    class SomeForm(forms.Form):
        hello = forms.CharField(max_length=40)
        world = forms.CharField(max_length=40)

How can I display the errors from the key `__all__` at the template level without having to  extract it in the view separately?  I want to avoid the following:

            print form.errors[&#39;__all__&#39;]

Is it possible to have multiple models included in a single `ModelForm` in django?  I am trying to create a profile edit form.  So I need to include some fields from the User model **and** the UserProfile model.  Currently I am using 2 forms like this

    class UserEditForm(ModelForm):
    
        class Meta:
            model = User
            fields = (&quot;first_name&quot;, &quot;last_name&quot;)
    
    class UserProfileForm(ModelForm):
    
        class Meta:
            model = UserProfile
            fields = (&quot;middle_name&quot;, &quot;home_phone&quot;, &quot;work_phone&quot;, &quot;cell_phone&quot;)


Is there a way to consolidate these into one form or do I just need to create a form and handle the db loading and saving myself?


Multiple Models in a single django ModelForm?

In Django&#39;s `ModelAdmin`, I need to display forms customized according to the permissions an user has. Is there a way of getting the current user object into the form class, so that i can customize the form in its `__init__` method?

I think saving the current request in a thread local would be a possibility but this would be my last resort because I&#39;m thinking it is a bad design approach.
