I have a Django form, which has a lot of fields so that I have to break it up to 3 pages. It means user has to fill some fields of the form in one page , and then they click next to go to next pages and continue to fill the forms.
To achieve that, I plan to display some fields of the form on each page.
I have come up with this code:
HTML Page 1:
<form method="POST" action="#" class="form">
{{form.email}}
{{form.phone_number}} ...
</form>
HTML Page 2 :
<form method="POST" action="#" class="form">
{{form.current_job}}
{{form.current_salary}}...
</form>
It works fine with this code but it just shows the form in basic appearance, I would like to use bootstrap to make it more beautiful.
My questions is that, how can I integrate bootstrap ?
I have come up with this solution, but it is hard-coded and difficult if I changes fields of the form in the future:
<label class="control-label" for="id_field1">Field 1</label>
<input class="form-control" id="id_field1" maxlength="50" name="field1" type="text"/>
<label class="control-label" for="id_field2">Field 2</label>
<input class="form-control" id="id_field2" maxlength="50" name="field2" type="text"/>
Thank you for your help!

I need to render individual fields from my Form so I use the filter |as_crispy_field from crispy-forms and use bootstrap 3 for the style but I need to do it in a form-inline like the first example here bootstrap example page so I tried to do it like this:
template.html
<form class="form-inline">{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.name|as_crispy_field }}
</form>
But the label shows above the TextInput field and not in-line as I need. How can I do this using |as_crispy_field?
EDIT: Here is the HTML after the render with crispy
<form class="form-inline"><input type='hidden' name='csrfmiddlewaretoken' value='****...' />
<div id="div_id_name" class="form-group">
<label for="id_name" class="control-label requiredField">
Name<span class="asteriskField">*</span>
</label>
<div class="controls ">
<input class="form-control textinput textInput form-control" id="id_name" maxlength="100" name="name" type="text" />
</div>
</div>
</form>
The one you linked to, with the labels on the left of the fields, is called "form-horizontal" in Crispy. It is explained here. You need to set these helper properties
helper.form_class = 'form-horizontal'
helper.label_class = 'col-lg-2'
helper.field_class = 'col-lg-8'
Actual inline forms, with the label displayed inside the fields are right below on the same page. You only need to set two helper properties
helper.form_class = 'form-inline'
helper.field_template = 'bootstrap3/layout/inline_field.html'
That should do it, if I understood your question correctly.
django form
{% for field in form.fields %}
{{field}}
</div>
{% endfor %}
If there is an error {{field.email}} will output this html with a post data value
<input id="id_email" type="text" value="gffdg" />
I want to use HTML 5 inputs but don't know how to get the post value if there is error
<input id="id_email" type="email" >
edit..
I was hoping not to use widgets with my django forms and just type the html5 code in my template (type="email" not type="text")
<input id="id_email" type="email" >`
but can't figure out how to get the value back after a post with errors.
<input value="?????" />
If you are trying to get the bound value of the email field, then the following template code should work:
<input id="id_email" type="email" value="{{ form.email.value }}">
If the value is not set, then it will be a blank field.
I have a form that is supposed to create a new 'Quote' record in Django. A 'Quote' requires a BookID for a foreign key.
This is my form
<form method="POST" action="{% url 'quotes:createQuote' %}">
{% csrf_token %}
<section>
<label for="q_text">Quote Text</label>
<input type="text" name="text" id="q_text" placeholder="Enter a Quote" style="padding-left:3px"> <br>
<label for="q_book">Book ID</label>
<input type="text" name="bookID" id="q_book" placeholder="Enter Book ID" style="padding-left:3px"> <br>
<label for="q_disp">Display Quote Now?</label>
<input type="radio" name="display" id="q_disp" value="True"> True
<input type="radio" name="display" value ="False">False <br>
<button value="submit">Submit</button>
</section>
</form>
And this is the method that it is targeting
def createQuote(request):
#b = get_object_or_404(Book, pk=request.bookID)
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('quotes:index'))
Somewhere in that request argument I assume there is some sort of field that contains the bookID the user will pass in on the form. How do I get at that information?
Bonus points for anyone who can tell me some way I can visualise data like I might with console.log(some.collection) in Javascript
if request.method == "POST":
book_id = request.POST['book_id']
Assuming you're sure it's in there. Otherwise you'll need to verify/provide a default value like you would for a normal python dictionary.
As for visualising the data, do you mean printing it to the console? In which case if you're running the django runserver you can just do print some_data. If you want it formatted a little nicer, you can use pretty print:
import pprint
pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter()
pp.pprint(some_data)
This is standard checkbox from model forms:
In my HTML I have: {{form}}
In website source:
<div class="id_accept-control-group control-group">
<div class="controls">
<label class="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox" name="accept" id="id_accept" /> <span>Accept</span>
</label>
</div>
</div>
How to add custom attribute: disabled="disabled" checked="checked" (to input)?
Check out this question to point you in the right direction Django: How do I add arbitrary html attributes to input fields on a form?
Also take a look at the model forms django doc https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/modelforms/
I have two different forms on my home page: one for logins and one for registrations. As you can see from the code, the forms have inputs with different names:
<h3> Log In </h3>
<form action="/login/" method="POST" class="form-vertical" style="padding-top: 5px">
<input id="id_login_username" type="text" name="login_username" maxlength="25" />
<input type="password" name="login_password" id="id_login_password" /><br>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-info">Login</button>
</form>
<h3> Sign Up <small>(It's free!)</small></h3>
<form action="/register/" method="POST" class="form-vertical" style="padding-top: 5px">
<input id="id_register_username" type="text" name="register_username" maxlength="25" />
<input type="text" name="register_email" id="id_register_email" />
<input type="password" name="register_password" id="id_register_password" />
<input type="password" name="register_password2" id="id_register_password2" /><br>
<button type="submit" class="btn">Submit</button>
</form>
Which renders to this in Chrome:
What can be causing this? And how can I fix it?
That's a really good question and I'm sorry to say I have no idea. Did
you try to register once and also login at least once? If so, that
"might" be what's causing it as browsers come complete with the
"autoremember" feature.
Assuming autofill is enabled (it is by default), the reason it autofills the rest is because chrome's autofill server works on regular expressions, not exact matches.
All the regular expressions used for the various fields can be found in autofill_regex_constants.cc.utf8.
From there you can see that the expression for email field is "e.?mail" and for username it is "user.?name|user.?id|nickname|maiden name|title|prefix|suffix"
It appears a similar question has been asked before:
What is the correct way to stop form input boxes auto-completing?
There is an autocomplete attribute you can use in form fields.
<input id="id_login_username" type="text" name="login_username" maxlength="25" autocomplete="off" />
