Show form errors (non field errors)
Posted: February 5th, 2010 | Author: Davo | Filed under: Django | Tags: clean, forms, non_field_errors, validate | No Comments »In the current Django version it is possible to implement form validation by overriding the clean() function.
For instance a ContactForm:
class ContactForm(forms.Form):
# ... fields...
field1 = forms.IntegerField()
def clean(self)
cleaned_data = self.cleaned_data
f = cleaned_data.get('field1')
if f > 10:
raise forms.ValidationError("Did you just enter more than 10?")
return cleaned_data # Never forget this otherwise you will end up with empty request.POST in the views.py.
In order to show that “Did you just enter more than 10″ error in the template:
<!-- assuming that you have form as ContactForm. -->
{{ form.non_field_errors }}
