Django:any way to remove this clear field?

Question

Is there any way I can remove this model form file field's 'clear' checkbox?.I know that I can define the 'custom' widget for file field but how to address this checkbox in that?

Answer 1

You need to change the widget from the ClearableFileInput to Fileinput https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/widgets/#fileinput

Answer 2

Adding to @schacki's answer. Here's how to use the simpler FileInput widget:

# forms.py
from django.forms.widgets import FileInput

class SomeForm(forms.Form):
    foofile = forms.FileField(widget=FileInput)

The default FileField widget seems to be ClearableFileInput.

Answer 3

I know this question is quite long, but for anyone still trying to remove the clear checkbox from displaying on form just remove blank=True from the model.

i.e.

models

myimage = models.Image(blank=True, upload_to='my_profile')

To

myimage = models.Image(upload_to='my_profile')

This is because the blank=True is what makes the checkbox to appear besides the image input in forms.

Hope this helps

If you are rendering the ImageField in your template using directly the typical {{ imagefieldname }} you can easily format it just substituting it by a copy-paste of the HTML generated by Django after rendering the template.

You can see that "Clear" checkbox in the HTML generated by Django and delete it if you want.
