Hiding foreign key fields from ModelForms in Django Template

Question

Essence in the following. I have a few different Magazine. And AutoForm from template shows all Articles and all Authors for possible selection (not only from current Magazine). How to restrict this choice of author a for article only from the current magazine? Can I do this using only the Template? If not, then how?

models.py

class Magazine(models.Model):
    Name = models.CharField(max_length=200)

class Article(models.Model):
    Name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    Magazine = models.ForeignKey(Magazine)

class Author(models.Model):
    Name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    Magazine = models.ForeignKey(Magazine)

class Sets(models.Model):
    Name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    Magazine = models.ForeignKey(Magazine)
    Aut = models.ManyToManyField(Author, null=True, blank=True)
    Set = models.ForeignKey(Article, null=True, blank=True)

forms.py:

class MagazineForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Magazine
        fields = {'Name'}

class ArticleForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Article
        fields = {'Name'}

class AuthorForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Author
        fields = {'Name'}

class SetsForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Sets
        fields = {'Name', 'Set', 'Aut'}

views.py

def building_details(request, magazine_id):
    sets_form = SetsForm
    args = {}
    args.update(csrf(request))
    args['magazine'] = Magazine.objects.get(id=magazine_id)
    args['article'] = Article.objects.filter(Magazine=magazine_id)
    args['author'] = Author.objects.filter(Magazine=magazine_id)
    args['sets'] = Sets.objects.filter(Magazine=magazine_id)
    args['setform'] = sets_form
    return render_to_response('building.html', args)

Template

<form action='/add/{{ magazine.id }}/' method='post'>
{% csrf_token %}
{{ setform }}
<input type='submit' class='button' value="Добавить">
</form>
</div>

Maybe somewhere in this entry there are errors (I briefly edited, removing not playing a role here, essentially). In General I have everything working right, except that all objects are displayed, instead of only having the current.

Sounds like you are trying to restrict the options in the ForeignKey selector based on some criteria.

This means you need to override some of the details in the forms __init__ method:

class SetsForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Sets
        fields = {'Name', 'Set', 'Aut'}

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        articles = Article.objects.filter(Magazine=kwargs.pop('magazine_id'))
        super(SetsForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields['articles'] = forms.ModelChoiceField(
            queryset=articles ,
            label="Articles",
        )

Then call your form like so:

sets_form = SetsForm(magazine_id=magazine_id)
