Using ModelForm and passing arguments

Question

class MyUserAdminForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
    model = Users

group = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(
    queryset=Groups.objects.filter(domain__user=3),
    widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple,
)

class UserAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):

list_display = ('login', 'company', 'userType')
form = MyUserAdminForm
filter_horizontal = ('group',)


admin.site.register(Users, UserAdmin)

I am using MyUserAdminForm for customizing the admin interface. I have to pass the pk of the User table as the argument to the filter

queryset=Groups.objects.filter(domain__user=3)

I should pass the pk of the User table instead of the hard coded '3'. Wanted to know how this can be achieved?

The object being edited is given to the form's constructor in the instance argument. You should be able to use that to filter the group choices:

class MyUserAdminForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Users

    group = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(
            queryset=Groups.objects.all(),
            widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple,
    )

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(MyUserAdminForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        if kwargs.has_key('instance'):
            qs = Group.objects.filter(domain__user=kwargs['instance'].pk)
            self.fields['group'].queryset = qs
