Django and switches
I am using a quiz app and I am showing multiple choice answers using radio buttons.
I need to group the answers to a question, so I have this as
{% for answer in quiz.quizanswer_set.all %}
<p><input type="radio" name="score[{{quiz.id}}]" value="{{answer.score}}"/>{{answer.answer}}</p>
{% endfor %}
When I hit submit, I have a POST object like this
<QueryDict: {u'score[1]': [u'10'], u'score[3]': [u'10'], u'score[2]': [u'10'], u'Get Result': [u'Submit']}>
How do I get casting through quotes?
I have tried request.POST.getlist('score')
and returns an empty list
PS. quiz.id cannot be sequential, it is from the database row id.
My current job:
for quiz in Quiz.objects.all():
total_score += int(request.POST.get('score[{0}]'.format(quiz.id)))

Just filter out the POST keys:
for score_key in filter(lambda key:key.startswith('score'), request.POST.keys()):
total_score += int(request.POST[score_key])
Update
Thinking about it, a list comprehension would be better than a filter:
for score_key in [key for key in request.POST.keys() if key.startswith('score[')]:
total_score += int(request.POST[score_key])
Update 2
Another way I went about was to keep the name for each radio button the same (like a score) and then merge the quiz id with the value:
<input type="radio" name="score" value="{{quiz.id}}-{{answer.score}} />
Then you can easily list all results and split the values:
for value in request.POST['score']:
quiz_id, score = value.split('-')
