Comment:
I'm sorry, my knowledge of djnago is limited unlike yours, i didn't know
that this method exists on more places.
I'm referring to https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/forms/
(Customizing the form template)
{{ field.label_tag }}
The field's label wrapped in the appropriate HTML <label> tag, e.g. <label
for="id_email">Email address</label>
and also to Ticket #6877 where it is explained why the field.label_tag
doesn't respect the form's label_suffix which i understand.
The problem is that if i use in my project in as many pages as i can the
{{ form.as_p }} to respect the DRY, but in some cases you have to add some
HTML code in the form, so you have to manually render the form usually
like this:
<p>
{{ form.name.errors }}[[BR]]
{{ form.name.label_tag }}{{ form.name }}<span
class="helptext">{{ form.name.help_text }}</span>
</p>
which would render the form without the label_suffix (i.e. without the ":"
in the label).
so you would have to do it like this:
<p>
{{ form.name.errors }}[[BR]]
<label for="id_name ">{{ form.name.label }}:</label>{{
form.name }}<span class="helptext">{{ form.name.help_text }}</span>
</p>
which forces you to dirty write the "id_name" where the "id_" is as far as
i know configurable in forms so this would be an incorrect way of doing
it.
my proposal is to add {{ form.name.label_tag_with_suffix }} method which
would solve the problem.
