Question

I have Account model in Django.

class Account(models.Model):
name =   CharField(max_length=255)
description =  CharField(max_length=500)
image_path =  CharField(max_length=255)
languages = models.ListField()

Since Django doesn’t have ListField, it gives an error. So how can I store multiple string values (choices will be from settings.LANGUAGES)?

Answer 1

One solution is create a model for Language choices and make a many to many relation with Account

class LanguageChoices(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=300)

class Account(models.Model):
   name =   CharField(max_length=255)
   description =  CharField(max_length=500)
   image_path =  CharField(max_length=255)
   languages = models.ManyToManyField(LanguageChoices)

but that has the disadvantage that the choices have to be put in a database. If you want to use hard coded choices, this is probably not what you want.

There is a django snippet at http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1200/ that does seem to solve your problem, by implementing a ModelField MultipleChoiceField
