I have a form that has a ModelChoiceField. I have created a custom widget for dealing with ModelChoiceFields, the widget extends forms.TextInput, so:
class SelectWidget(forms.TextInput):
def __init__(self, attrs):
super(SelectWidget, self).__init__(attrs)
def render(self, name, value, attrs=None):
value = "" if value is None else value
# html stuff here
return html_stuff
and on the form:
class Form(forms.ModelForm)
address = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=models.Address.objects.all(),
widget=SelectWidget(attrs={}))
I understand that when I submit the form, it will validate what ever was entered in the SelectWidget text input against the queryset provided to the ModelChoiceField which is what I want.
My question is: in the SelectWidget where I am overriding the render method, how can I access whatever queryset was passed to the ModelChoiceField in order to check it against the "value" attribute (if any) of the widget?
