i have a an order model which is in m2m relationship with a product model, when i create an order, and after checking my DB, i can see the order saved but not in the through model
models.py
from inventory.models import Product
from user.models import User
class Order(models.Model):
product = models.ManyToManyField(Product, through='OrderItems' )
vendeur = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
quantity = models.PositiveIntegerField()
class Customer(models.Model):
full_name = models.CharField(max_length=60, verbose_name='full name')
address = models.CharField(max_length=255)
phone = models.CharField(max_length=20)
city = models.CharField(max_length=30)
class OrderItems(models.Model):
product = models.ForeignKey(Product, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True)
order = models.ForeignKey(Order,on_delete=models.CASCADE)
customer = models.ForeignKey(Customer, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True)
views.py
@login_required
def add_order(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = NewOrderForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
order = form.save(commit=False)
order.vendeur = request.user
order.save()
return redirect('dashboard-index', )
else :
form = NewOrderForm()
return render(request, 'dashboard/add_order.html', {'form': form})
forms.py
class NewOrderForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Order
fields = ('product','quantity')
>Solution :
if you use save(commit=False), Calling save_m2m() is required.
because your form has a m2m field
refer to documentions
