使用ModelForm和ModelMultipleChoiceField保存到ManyToManyFields

我已经根据Django Book创建了一个基本的Django应用程序,其中包含书籍/作者/发布者 - 试图使用ModelForm来创建修改现有书籍的方法 - 问题是“作者”字段是ManyToManyField当我在ModelForm上选择一个选项时,它只是擦除现有的选择而不保存新的选择?

models.py

class Book(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    authors = models.ManyToManyField2(Author)
    publisher = models.ForeignKey(Publisher)
    publication_date = models.DateField()

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.title

class BookForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Book

    authors = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(queryset=Author.objects.all(), required=False)

views.py

def editBook(request, b=None):
    instance = None
    if b is not None:
        instance = Book.objects.get(title=b)
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = BookForm(request.POST, instance=instance)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            return HttpResponseRedirect('/contact/thanks/')
    else:
        form = BookForm(instance=instance)
    return render_to_response('book_form.html', {'form':form})

干杯!

修改 我刚刚在views.py

中发现了几篇鼓励以下内容的文章
authors = form.save(commit=False)
authors.user = request.user
authors.save()
form.save_m2m()

但仍然没有运气 - 不能这么难!

解决方法是覆盖ModelForm中的save方法:

def save(self, commit=True):
    authors =[]
    for a in self.cleaned_data['authors']:
         authors.append(Author.objects.get(first_name=t.first_name))

    b = super(BookForm, self).save(commit=commit)

    for a in authors:
        b.authors.add(a)
    b.save()

因为您覆盖了authors字段。要么不这样做,让Django做它的工作,要么手动处理它。
