Can't assign a value (user id) to a ForeignKey field
I am getting the following error: Cannot assign "<django.db.models.fields.related.ForeignKey>": "Worry.user" must be a "User" instance.
I trying to assign the id of the current user to an object I have just created.
This is part of my models.py:
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.forms import ModelForm
from django.db import models
class UserForm (ModelForm) :
class Meta:
model = User
class Worry(models.Model) :
user = models.ForeignKey(User) #Many worries to 1 user relation
This is part of my views.py:
from django.db import models
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response, redirect, get_object_or_404
from django.template import RequestContext
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from holaProy.models import UserForm, Worry, WorryForm, Statistics, StatisticsForm
def worry_add (request):
form = WorryForm (request.POST or None)
if form.is_valid():
wform.user = models.ForeignKey('User') #HERE IS THE PROBLEM I THINK
wform.save()
return redirect (index)
return render_to_response ('holaProy/worry_add.html', {'worry_form': form}, context_instance = RequestContext(request))</code>
How should I do it in order to succesfully assign the current user id to the "user" field for the actual worry instance?
The issue is, indeed, on that line:
wform.user = models.ForeignKey('User')
wform.user should be set to a User instance. Something like this:
user = request.user # Retrieve proper user according to your needs
wform.user = user
尝试：
def worry_add(request):
form = WorryForm(request.POST or None)
if request.method == 'POST' and form.is_valid():
worry = form.save(commit=False)
worry.user = #assign this to an instance of a User object
worry.save()
That's the line where you are having your problem.
Basically, you are searching for a string. You need to get the actual database object before. Try this:
User = User.objects.get(pk='User')
wform.user = models.ForeignKey('User') #Now User refers to the database object, not a string
