I've been trying to make a form that will get customer information:
First Name Last Name MI
(etc)
and have been running into issues I can't seem to resolve without doing it
the hard way. I was just wondering if there was an easier method?
Using generic views and edit views, the items in my model won't layout the
way I want them to, so I manually made one.
1. When I manually made my html form, none of the labels for my input
boxes show up. I though it would use a default "verbose_name", then I added
a verbose_name, still didn't change.
- I added labels to my form, no change.
2. Even though MI is set to maxlength=1 in the model, every text box is
the same size.
In the admin site you can use the "tabularinlines" and "fieldsets" to group
and lay things out. Is there any method to achieving the same thing apart
from the admin page? Or do I manually have to add labels to every "{{ }}"
on my .html template? Thanks!
models.py
class Customer(models.Model):
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=20)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
middle_initial = models.CharField(max_length=1, null=True, blank=True)
forms.py
class CustomerForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Customer
fields = ('full_name', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'middle_initial')
labels = {
'first_name': _('First Name'),
'last_name': _('Last Name'),
'middle_initial': _('MI'),
}
customer_form_view.html
{% extends "base_template.html" %}
{% block center %}
<form action="" method="GET">
{% csrf_token %}
<div>{{ form.first_name }} {{ form.last_name }} {{ form.middle_initial
}}</div>
<div><input type="submit" value="Save" /></div>
</form>
{% endblock %}
