Django BooleanField - Checkbox not showing in form on website - django

Question

I have the following:
forms.py
class StoreSettingsForm(ModelForm):
enable_repricer = forms.BooleanField(required=True)
enable_ignore_min_price = forms.BooleanField(required=True)
class Meta:
model = Store
fields = '__all__'
exclude = ['user']
models.py
class Store(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User, models.SET_NULL, blank=True, null=True)
store_name = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=False)
...
enable_repricer = models.BooleanField(default=False)
enable_ignore_min_price = models.BooleanField(default=False)
template.html
<form method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
<h4>Repricer Settings</h4>
<div class="row">
{{ form.non_field_errors }}
<div class="fieldWrapper col s4">
{{ form.enable_repricer.errors }}
<label for="{{ form.enable_repricer.id_for_label }}">Enable Repricer:</label>
{{ form.enable_repricer }}
</div>
<div class="fieldWrapper col s4">
{{ form.enable_ignore_min_price.errors }}
<label for="{{ form.enable_ignore_min_price.id_for_label }}">Allow Repricer to ignore min_price:</label>
{{ form.enable_ignore_min_price }}
</div>
<div class="fieldWrapper col s4">
{{ form.repricer_factor.errors }}
<label for="{{ form.repricer_factor.id_for_label }}">Repricer aggressiveness factor (1-100):</label>
{{ form.repricer_factor }}
</div>
</div>
<input class="btn" type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</div>
view.py
class StoreSettingsView(View):
template_name = 'store_settings.html'
def get(self, *args, **kwargs):
store = Store.objects.get(id=kwargs['id'])
data = {
'store_name': store.store_name,
'store_email': store.store_email,
...
'enable_ignore_min_price': store.enable_ignore_min_price,
'enable_repricer': store.enable_repricer,
'repricer_factor': store.repricer_factor,
}
form = StoreSettingsForm(initial=data)
return render(self.request, self.template_name, {
"store": store,
"form": form,
})
It does not show up in the form. All field are showing on the page but not the 2 boolean fields. The labels are showing and in the HTML.
I have excluded many fields from the code blocks to make it more easy to read.

Answer 1

I was with this problem and I solved it doing that:
#----- My error was caused by Materialize css ----#
Not showing checkbox
<form>
{% for field in form %}
{{field.label_tag}}<br>
{{field}}
<br>
<br>
{% endfor %}
</form>
Using Materialize, You must have a span tag in your label:
Example in Materialize doc:
<label>
<input type="checkbox" class="filled-in" checked="checked" />
<span>Filled in</span>
</label>
I solved the problem refacting to the Materialize's doc structure:
<form>
{% for field in form %}
<label>
{% if field.label == "colorida" %} <!-- 'colorida' is my boolean field -->
{{field}}
<span>{{field.label}}</span> <!-- if boolean field, span must be after input (in materialize) -->
{% else %}
<span>{{field.label}}</span> <!-- description before input if not boolean field -->
{{field}}
{% endif %}
</label>
<br>
<br>
{% endfor %}
</form>
Test your example on a page without any CSS, the problem probably is caused by CSS

Answer 2

Ok. When typing the question something arose to me. What if.... and yes that was it. In some way my CSS is disabling the checkbox and i really do not know why. When removing the CSS it works fine. Sorry.
