I have some Container
s and they have a number of Box
es I want to edit. So, naturally, I use modelformset_factory .
It works very good:
container = get_object_or_404(Container, id=container_id)
BoxFormSet = modelformset_factory(Box, fields=('a', 'b', 'c'))
formset = BoxFormSet(queryset=container.box_set.all())
In my template I iterate over formset
to show the boxes I want to modify.
This works very well and I can edit the attributes a
, b
and c
of each Box
. But each box has also a label
. I want to access the value to show it in the label but it should not be editable, like an input
-field. I just need the value. How can I achieve that?
You can pass a widgets
parameter to the factory. There you can specify the appropriate attribute for the label input:
BoxFormSet = modelformset_factory(
Box,
fields=('a', 'b', 'c', 'label'),
widgets={'label': forms.TextInput(attrs={'readonly': True})}
)
Alternatively, if you don't want a auto-rendered, yet disabled input, you can just access the label in the template via the form's instance:
{% for form in box_formset %}
# form stuff
{{ form.instance.label }}
{% endfor %}
I'd recommend specifying a form to use for the model, and in that form you can set whatever attributes you want to read-only.
#forms.py
class BoxForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Box
fields=('a', 'b', 'c', 'label')
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
if self.instance.id:
self.fields['label'].widget.attrs['readonly'] = True
#views.py
BoxFormSet = modelformset_factory(Box, form=BoxForm)
An alternative would be to set those fields as read-only using javascript
$('input[name="label"]').attr('readonly', true);
Personally, I would prefer the first
