Comment (by Evil Clay <clay.evil@…>):
Hi. Again, i'm sorry.
as in #18134 i'm talking about the same area
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/api/#configuring-html-
label-tags
Normally, a colon (:) will be appended after any label name when a form is
rendered. It's possible to change the colon to another character, or omit
it entirely, using the label_suffix parameter:
f = ContactForm(auto_id='id_for_%s', label_suffix="")
So if i want to change to colon to something else for my ENTIRE project i
would have to either:
1. set it in my code on every form instantination (i.e. f =
ContactForm(label_suffix="")) which is wicked and dirty and just
wrong...(but good if you want to change the suffix only on one page etc..)
2. override the two classes forms.Form and forms.ModelForm and use them in
the project as parents for all my forms see the description above.
I'm in believe that removing the hardcoded label_suffix=":" in:
1. class BaseModelForm Found at: django.forms.models init method
2. class BaseForm Found at: django.forms.forms init method
and replace it which something like "label_suffix=settings.LABLE_SUFFIX"
would not be that much work.
However i'm not an expert on the internals of django, so it's just IMHO.
