Question

This is my form:

from django.db import models
from django.forms import ModelForm
from django import forms


class Blog(models.Model):
    blog_id = models.CharField(max_length=100)

class TumblrForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Blog
        fields = ('blog_id')
        widgets = {
            'blog_id':forms.RadioSelect(),
        }

I basically want to show the user a list of forms.

This is where I instantiate it:

form = TumblrForm(instance=blogs_id)

I get an error saying:

Unknown field(s) (b, d, g, i, l, o, _) specified for Blog

Any idea what’s happening here?

Answer 1

Try adding a comma after ‘blog_id’

fields = ('blog_id',)

It looks like the string ‘blog_id’ is being interpreted as a list of chars rather than a single string specifying a field (notice now the error message contains all the characters of blog_id).
