First time creating a webapp in django. please bear with me.
So I have this code in my html:
<h1><font color="Orange" face="Borda">{{ template_title }}</h1>
<form method='POST' action=''>{% csrf_token %}
<font color="Orange" face="Borda" style="background-color: transparent;">{{ form }}</font>>
<input type='submit' value='SUBMIT'>
</form>
now inside {{ form }} is all the views and forms. now what I want to do is to specifically call it individually (with style).
for example if I have:
email=CharField()
username=CharField()
and I wanted to call them in my html as:
<label class="sr-only" for="r-form-first-name">**EMAIL/USERNAME**</label>
<input type="text" name="r-form-first-name" placeholder="First name..." class="r-form-first-name form-control" id="r-form-first-name">
How do I do that? I already have a bootstrap template prepared for my login but other documentation suggest I use crispy forms, which I dont want to. Please tell me how if there is other ways of calling it.
Since it's your first time building a django app, i suggest you take your time building it, try reading relative doc pages for the parts you're working with.
Here's an example from the docs (tailored for your case):
<div class="fieldWrapper">
{{ form.username.errors }}
<label for="{{ form.username.id_for_label }}">Your message:</label>
{{ form.username }}
</div>

i have this template on my Django
{% for car in cars%}
<div class="form-row">
<label for="detail-{{ detail.id }}"> <b>{{ detail.rejected_field.title }}</b> :
<img id="car-image" src="{{ car_manager_image_ + car.id }}">
</label>
</div>
{%endfor%}
car_manager_image is another image url sent via extra_context['car_manager_image_'+car.id] on the backend
my question is, how do i concate the data on Django Template?
im expecting result like 'car_manager_image_1'
You can use django build in add filter to concat both strings. Your code should be changed to
<img id="car-image" src="{{ car_manager_image_|add:car.id }}">
I have standard model form in django with Imagefield and standard widget. It made me such output on the page:
Currently: qwe/Tulips.jpg <input id="image-clear_id" name="image-clear" type="checkbox" /> <label for="image-clear_id">Clear</label><br />
Change: <input id="id_image" name="image" type="file" />
I want to place outputs of this widget in different parts of page. How can I cut it in templates.
If there is a way to use part of the output in template like {{form.name_of_field.label}} or {{form.name_of_field.errors}}
I've tried different names but no use
There must be a way to use them apart.
And yet another one who needs form styling.
I would recommend to use Widget Tweaks
<form method='POST' action="/" enctype='multipart/form-data'>
{% load widget_tweaks %}
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.first_name |add_class:"customCSS1 customCSS2" }}
{{ form.second_name |add_class:"customCSS3 customCSS4" }}
</form>
{{ form.media.js }}
with this plugin you can style the form as you wish. All Css classes work. You can put each form field wherever you want on the Page. Is that what you are looking for? Your question is a bit misleading.
Hope that helps if not leave a comment :)
In my Django 1.7 app, I'm trying to take advantage of the MultiValueField class to implement a password/confirm password form element, i.e. two separate password fields asking the user to enter and then confirm a new password. I already got this working with two separate fields and a clean() method on my form, but the "single" MultiValueField seems a better way of upholding the DRY principle, especially since I'll need to duplicate this not only in my user registration form, but also when users want to change their passwords.
However, my front-end is pretty specific, and not the least bit like Django's default form output, so I'm manually rendering my form fields. This works great -- until I get to the MultiValueField. For each form field, my HTML looks like this:
<div class="row collapse">
<div class="small-2 columns">
<span class="prefix"><i class="fi-mail"></i></span>
</div>
<div class="small-10 columns {% if form.email.errors %}error{% endif %}">
{{ form.email }}
{% if form.email.errors %}<small class="error">{{ form.email.errors }}</small>{% endif %}
</div>
</div>
I need to do similar formatting for each of the subfields of form.password, but nothing I've tried has given me a rendered subfield; the closest I've come is {{ form.fields.password.fields.0 }} in my template, which gives me output like <app.fields.PassField object at 0x7fb619821ef0>, however this obviously isn't a rendered form field.
Is there something simple and obvious that I'm missing, or is what I'm trying to do just not possible in Django?
The code in Render only one part of a MultiWidget in Django is appropriate for your problem, as farthVader suggests.
I had a similar problem and I ended up solving it this way:
<input type="text" id="{{ form.password.html_name }}_0" name="{{ form.password.html_name }}_0" value="{{ form.password.value.0|default_if_none:'' }}"/>
<input type="text" id="{{ form.password.html_name }}_1" name="{{ form.password.html_name }}_1" value="{{ form.password.value.1|default_if_none:'' }}"/>
I usually keep it simple and use the following form syntax in my templates:
<div>
<div>{{form.title.label}}:</div>
<div>{{form.title}}</div>
</div>
The problem with this approach is the bad semantic in the html output.
<div>
<div>Title:</div>
<div><input id="id_form-title" type="text" maxlength="30" name="form-title"></div>
</div>
Correct should be:
<div>
<label for="id_form-title">Title</label>
<input id="id_form-title" type="text" maxlength="30" name="form-title">
</div>
Is there a django build-in tag to do this automatically for me, or do I have to do it manually myself like this?
<div>
<label for="id_form-title">{{form.title.label}}</label>
{{form.title}}
</div>
It is indeed annoying that outputting fields one by one doesn't give you automatic access to a properly-constructed label element - doing form.as_p will correctly produce the fields plus labels, but you give up all control over the form layout.
You can build up the label tag using the field information fairly easily though:
<label for="{{ field.auto_id }}">{{ field.label }}</label>
{{ field }}
You can put this in a template tag for easier reuse.
Don't forget to also add {{ field.errors }} to display the errors associated with each field.
using label_tag should give you properly constructed label tag. So instead of just {{form.title.label}} you should use {{form.title.label_tag}} and it will result in the desired html
I have a form in a django site
<form method="POST" action="." class="right_custom">{% csrf_token %}
<br>{% trans "Enter the discount coupon code if you have any" %}</br>
<input type="text" name="coupon_code" size="25" maxlength="25" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Caluclate Discount"/>
</form>
I would like to translate the entire site to a lot of languages. I need to translate the button text which is Caluclate Discount. How can I do that? if i use {% trans %} tag, how will the view catch the right post request?
UPDATE
There are many forms on the same page like this and my view uses if postdata['submit']=="Caluclate Discount" to determine which submit request it is.
I was able to get the translation working.
Thanks to the answers by #linux-warrior and #Joachim
Now the form is
<form method="POST" action="." class="right_custom">{% csrf_token %}
<input type="hidden" name="form_name" value="discount_form" />
<br>{% trans "Enter the discount coupon code if you have any" %}</br>
<input type="text" name="coupon_code" size="25" maxlength="25" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="{% trans "Caluclate Discount" %}" />
</form>
And i check for if postdata['form_name']=='discount_form' in my view
For buttons, you really don't use the value field for anything else than the button text, so it is straightforward to translate:
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="{% trans "Caluclate Discount" %}"/>
I think that you should use {% trans %} for submit "value". I don't understand why would you need that value inside your view. If you want, you can still give your submit input a custom "name" attribute.
Edit. By the way, your
<br>...</br>
thing inside your form appears to be a bug. You will probably want to make it
<p>...</p>
instead. It is also not recommended to use "submit" name for a type="submit" input (taken from http://api.jquery.com/submit/):
Forms and their child elements should not use input names or ids that conflict with properties of a form, such as submit, length, or method. Name conflicts can cause confusing failures. For a complete list of rules and to check your markup for these problems, see DOMLint.
Your view doesn't care about what is the submit button's value, so even if you translate it, your view function will work.
