django - How to save the value of a jQuery sliderbar into a Person model? -

i trying save value of jquery element added surveywizardform class person(models.model): , therefore database.

all of other elements in form created normal way, creating necessary fields , widgets in forms.py , data each question in models.py. result automatically work , correct data getting saved.

however have customized surveywizardform on pages allow user submit rating image via jquery slider bar.

my issue cannot seem store value in person model.

question: how store value of slider bar slider_value in person model?

all attempts far have created new entry in model/db not store value have in form/views.py. fear not linking 2 pieces correctly.

any appreciated. thanks

my code far

slider_two.js

this updates hidden form field hidden1 value of jquery slider bar

  if($(this).attr("id") ==  "one")       $("#hidden1").val((ui.value > 0 ? '+' : '') + ui.value); 

wizard_form.html

value="0" gets updated when user moves slider created in above slider_two.js (not shown)

<input type="hidden" name="slider_value" value="0" id="hidden1"/>                             <script src="{% static "survey/js/slider_two.js" %}"></script> 

views.py

i can read value views.py using

 slider_value = self.request.post.get('slider_value')  if slider_value not none:                      instruction_task_values.insert(0, slider_value)    logger.debug('\n\n\nthis instruction_task_values in 1 %s', instruction_task_values) 

this works correct value printed each time log

models.py

this meant create field in db store value of slider bar. other entries create work , saved correctly.

class person(models.model):      slider_value = models.integerfield(null=true, blank=true, max_length=1000) 

forms.py

this believe issue is.

the below attempt "connect" existing slider_value in form , add person model create new fiel in form.

class surveyformit1(forms.modelform):           class meta:         model = person             fields = ['slider_value']         widgets = {'slider_value' : forms.hiddeninput}     

you should consider revising code work forms properly.

for example, in views.py:

def my_view(request):     # if post request need process form data     if request.method == 'post':         # create form instance , populate data request:         form = surveyformit1(request.post)         # check whether it's valid:         if form.is_valid():             # process data in form.cleaned_data required             slider_value = form.cleaned_data['slider_value']             if slider_value not none:                     instruction_task_values.insert(0, slider_value)             logger.debug('\n\n\nthis instruction_task_values in 1 %s', instruction_task_values)             # redirect new url:             return httpresponseredirect('/thanks/')      # if (or other method) we'll create blank form     else:         form = surveyformit1()      return render(request, 'wizard_form.html', {'form': form}) 

in wizard_form.html:

{{ form.as_p }} <script src="{% static "survey/js/slider_two.js" %}"></script> 

{{ form.as_p }} give like

<input type="hidden" name="slider_value" value="" id="id_slider_value"/>
