Question

this is my code and I try to show the label but it is not displaying
this is my form file
forms.py
class ReviewForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Review
fields = ['value', 'body']
labels = {'value': 'Place your vote', 'body': 'Add a comment with your vote'}
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(ReviewForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
for name, field in self.fields.items():
field.widget.attrs.update({'class': 'input'})
this is my views file and the function for this form
views.py
def project(request, pk):
projectObj = Project.objects.get(id=pk)
form = ReviewForm()
context = {
'project': projectObj,
'form': form
}
return render(request, 'projects/single-project.html', context)
this is the model for the review section
models.py
class Review(models.Model):
VOTE_TYPE = (
('up', 'Up Vote'),
('down', 'Down Vote')
)
owner = models.ForeignKey(Profile, on_delete = models.CASCADE, null=True)
project = models.ForeignKey(Project, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
body = models.TextField(null=True, blank=True)
value = models.CharField(max_length=200, choices=VOTE_TYPE)
created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
id = models.UUIDField(default = uuid.uuid4, unique=True, primary_key=True, editable=False)
class Meta:
# every user can only have single comment on each project
unique_together = [['owner', 'project']]
def __str__(self):
return self.value

I try to show form.label but it is not displaying

Answer 1

the label is contained in the label_tag property in the field:
<form class="form" action="{% url 'project' project.owner.id %}" method="POST">
{% csrf_token %}
{% for field in form %}
<div class="form__field">
<label for="formInput#textarea">{{field.label_tag}}</label>
{{field}}
</div>
{% endfor %}
<input class="btn btn--sub btn--lg" type="submit" value="Comments" />
</form>
Are you sure for your labels property of Meta class of ModelForm, i do not known this property. You probably need to redefine your field with label you want to, or update field label in the init function of your form.
class ReviewForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Review
fields = ['value', 'body']
labels = {'value': 'Place your vote', 'body': 'Add a comment with your vote'}
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(ReviewForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
for name, field in self.fields.items():
field.widget.attrs.update({'class': 'input'})
