CSS classes are a way of targeting the elements that you'd like to style on your website. In WPForms, fields are automatically assigned several CSS classes. For instance, if a field is set to a Field Size of Large, it will be assigned the CSS class wpforms-field-large .
Yet another solution that doesn't require changes in python code and so is better for designers and one-off presentational changes: django-widget-tweaks. Hope somebody will find it useful.
Answered my own question. Sigh
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/widgets/#django.forms.Widget.attrs
I didn't realize it was passed into the widget constructor.
Here is another solution for adding class definitions to the widgets after declaring the fields in the class.
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(SampleClass, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['name'].widget.attrs['class'] = 'my_class'
Use django-widget-tweaks, it is easy to use and works pretty well.
Otherwise this can be done using a custom template filter.
Considering you render your form this way :
<form action="/contact/" method="post">
{{ form.non_field_errors }}
<div class="fieldWrapper">
{{ form.subject.errors }}
<label for="id_subject">Email subject:</label>
{{ form.subject }}
</div>
</form>
form.subject is an instance of BoundField which has the as_widget method.
you can create a custom filter "addcss" in "my_app/templatetags/myfilters.py"
from django import template
register = template.Library()
@register.filter(name='addcss')
def addcss(value, arg):
css_classes = value.field.widget.attrs.get('class', '').split(' ')
if css_classes and arg not in css_classes:
css_classes = '%s %s' % (css_classes, arg)
return value.as_widget(attrs={'class': css_classes})
And then apply your filter:
{% load myfilters %}
<form action="/contact/" method="post">
{{ form.non_field_errors }}
<div class="fieldWrapper">
{{ form.subject.errors }}
<label for="id_subject">Email subject:</label>
{{ form.subject|addcss:'MyClass' }}
</div>
</form>
form.subjects will then be rendered with the "MyClass" css class.
Hope this help.
