I don't want to use django's built in form generation, seeking to specify each field in my template in order to customize the html output.
How do I iterate over a series of form fields?
If my form looks like this:
class MyForm(forms.Form):
main_image = forms.ImageField()
second_image = forms.ImageField()
third_image = forms.ImageField()
fourth_image = forms.ImageField()
...
Is there way to write a {% for %}
loop so that I can iterate through:
{{ form.main_image }}
{{ form.second_image }}
{{ form.third_image }}
{{ form.fourth_image }}
I tried the following which seemed logical, but did not work:
{% for field in form %}
{{ form.field }}
{% endfor %}
Well this would clearly not work:
{% for field in form %}
{{ form.field }}
{% endfor %}
but this will:
{% for field in form %}
{{ field }}
{% endfor %}
The best way is to use two loops, one for hidden fields and one for visible fields :
visibles:
{% for field in form.visible_fields %}
{{ field.label }}
{{ field }}
{% endfor %}
hiddens:
{% for hidden in form.hidden_fields %}
{{ hidden }}
{% endfor %}
in this way you will have better control over UI elements.
