I have a ModelForm with a multiple choice field. The choices are populated instances of Hikers belonging to a specific Club.
I want to customize the way my form displays, by displaying the choices in a table where the 1st column contains checkboxes, and a few more columns display the details of each hiker. So for example the columns are (checboxes, name, age, favourite hiking trail).
I'm not sure how to approach this. How do I access and display the form field choices with it's associated model instance fields in my template. Anybody know of the Django way to do this?
#models.py
class Club(models.Model):
title = models.CharField()
hikers = models.ManyToManyField(Hikers)
class Hiker(models.Model):
name = models.CharField()
age = models.PositiveIntegerField()
favourite_trail = models.CharField()
#forms.py
class ClubForm(forms.ModelForm):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
club_pk = kwargs['club_pk']
del kwargs['club_pk']
super(ClubForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
choices = [(ts.pk, ts.name) for hiker in Club.objects.filter(pk=club_pk)]
self.fields['hikers'].choices = choices
class Meta:
model = Club
fields = ('hikers',)
widgets = {'hikers': forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple}
Easiest would be if you define the whole form in a HTML template. You should be able to iterate over a field's values in a template like that:
{% for value, text in form.hikers.field.choices %}
{{ value }}: {{ text }}
{% endfor %}
Try this solution :
<ul>
{% for choice in form.my_choice_field.field.choices %}
<li>
<input type="radio" name="my_choice_field" value="{{choice.0}}"
{% ifequal form.my_choice_field.data choice.0 %}
checked="checked"
{% endifequal %}/>
<label for="">{{choice.1}}</label>
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
