Merry Christmas to you ! Short version: is it possible to define a set of default css classes that Django should use whenever rendering a form ?
Long version: The context is as follows: I would like to use the css classes defined in the w3.css framework for all my forms ( http://www.w3schools.com/w3css/default.asp). I have seen that it is possible to do that in Django at form class definition or at form rendering, but it requires in both cases an explicit declaration of all the form fields. That means that I loose all the benefit of automatic form generation for ModelForms. I would like something as follows instead: 1. Define somewhere (e.g. in the settings file) a default mapping between form fields / widgets and css classes, e.g. 'textinput': 'my_default_css_class_for_text_inputs' 2. By default, for all automatic generation and rendering of forms, the default css classes defined in (1) are used, with no or minimal modification of the existing form classes 3. For specific forms, I can overload the defaults with other values As far as I've understood, such behaviour is not possible in django. The crispy-forms package seems to go in that direction, but it seems to do much more than just that, and I am not sure that I want all the extra complexity (I'm still a newbie around here). An alternative would be to use javascript to add the classes on the client side. It looks ugly to me and prevents specific classes to be set for non-default forms. Could anyone confirm my understanding of this issue and point me towards elegant solutions, if any ? Thanks !
