So I needed the ability to specify initial data for a wizard, and I also liked the idea of storing it in the session (vs the POST). I was pointed to the SessionWizard patch, and I believe this was a 1.1 possibility as well, so I figured I'd bring up the numerous issues.
First and foremost, the latest patch doesn't even work. There's several naming conflicts, and mismatches in the docs. There's a few things I like about this, that I think would work well in the base wizard class (which needs to be created): - A few more hooks such as get_page_title - The possibility to interact with the GET request to get form data (I want to sometimes skip a step if they come from a location which provides that information). And a few of the obvious issues: - The API is *completely* different. - Much of the code is specifically written for sessions (which is good and bad). I've got it working locally myself, but I've already begun making tweaks (to make it work in our environment, and fix the bugs). I'm going to refactor a BaseWizard class, and try to keep all the original FormWizard methods, such as render_template, done, etc.. Most of the original base methods are still possible without tweaking the design, but one of the very obvious differences is the done method. This may be up for debate, but I believe the done method should be what it says, done. This means that the session data should automatically wipe once the done method has been called. There is also the issue that the forms are not passed via the done method, and this needs changed so that it is the same API. The API (even private) also needs cleaned IMO to be a bit closer to PEP 8. Anyways, I'm going to work up some changes, and I'll submit another patch. If anyone has any recommendations on API for this please let me know as I can commit the time nescesary (since we need this) to finish the code. Also, is this feature still slated for 1.1? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
