How to insert extra content in form? - django

Question

I have form:
class ItemForm(forms.ModelForm):
id = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=Item.objects.all(), widget=forms.HiddenInput())
temp = forms.BooleanField(widget=forms.HiddenInput(), required=False)
date = forms.SplitDateTimeField(widget=forms.SplitDateTimeWidget())
... etc
and in template i have:
{% for field in itemForm %}
{% if field.is_hidden %}
{{ field }}
{% else %}
<div class="fieldWrapper">
{% if field.errors %}<div class="errorbox">{% endif %}
<p>{{ field.label_tag }}</p>
<p>{{ field }}</p>
<p></p>
{% if field.errors %}<p>{{ field.errors }}</p></div>{% endif %}
</div>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
it is a universal template for different forms. And now in one form:
class DifferentForm(forms.ModelForm):
id = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=DifferentItem.objects.all(), widget=forms.HiddenInput())
option = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=Option.objects.all(), widget=forms.HiddenInput())
(????)
temp = forms.BooleanField(widget=forms.HiddenInput(), required=False)
date = forms.SplitDateTimeField(widget=forms.SplitDateTimeWidget())
... etc
i want put an additional link in such a way as to show in this way:
<select ...>
<option>...</option>
</select>
(my additional link, button, text, whatever)
<input ...
How to do it?

Answer 1

The way I usually do this is in the template:
{% for field in itemForm %}
{% if field.name == "option" %}
Custom stuff I want to go before this field
{% endif %}
<!-- Regular field stuff goes here -->
{% if field.is_hidden %}
{{ field }}
{% else %}
<div class="fieldWrapper">
...
</div>
{% endif %}
<!-- End Regular Field Stuff -->
{% if field.name == "option" %}
Custom stuff I want to go after the field
{% endif %}
{% if field.name == "another_field_name"%}
Custom stuff I want to go after the field
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
