inlineformset_factory takes a formset kwarg, which defaults to BaseInlineFormSet. BaseInlineFormSet subclasses BaseModelFormSet, which defines a get_queryset method. If you create a BaseInlineFormSet subclass and override get_queryset to return EmptyQuerySet(), you should get what you’re after. In the above example then, it would look like this:
from django.db.models.query import EmptyQuerySet
from django.forms.models import BaseInlineFormSet
class BaseInlineAddOnlyFormSet(BaseInlineFormSet):
def get_queryset(self):
return EmptyQuerySet()
author = Author.objects.get(pk=1)
BookFormSet = inlineformset_factory(Author, Book, formset=BaseInlineAddOnlyFormSet)
formset = BookFormSet(request.POST, instance=author)

Based on Jeremy Lewis and if you don’t want to subclass BaseInlineFormSet, you can just give an empty queryset parameter to your BookFormSet.
See pseudo (untested) Django 1.6 code sample:
BookFormSet = inlineformset_factory(parent=Author, model=Book)
if request.method == "POST":
formset = BookFormSet(request.POST, request.FILES, instance=author)
if formset.is_valid():
formset.save()
else:
queryset = Book.objects.none() # does not allow to edit books
formset = BookFormSet(instance=project, initial=initial, queryset=queryset)
return render(request, "add_book.html", { "formset": formset, })

Actually the answer is given in the documentation. Just don’t give any instance to the FormSet. From the doc:
>>> from django.forms.models import inlineformset_factory
>>> BookFormSet = inlineformset_factory(Author, Book)
>>> author = Author.objects.get(name=u'Mike Royko')
>>> formset = BookFormSet() # This will create an empty form with your model fields
You can then create view as follows:
if request.method == "POST":
formset = BookFormSet(request.POST, request.FILES)
if formset.is_valid():
formset.save()
else:
formset = BookFormSet()
return render_to_response("add_book.html", {
"formset": formset,
Hope it helps.
