I often have this need so I created a custom widget where I just set
the readonly attribute on a TextInput widget:
class LabelWidget(forms.TextInput):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
attrs = kwargs.get('attrs', {})
attrs['readonly'] = True
if 'class' in attrs:
attrs['class'] = attrs['class'] + ' label'
else:
attrs['class'] = 'label'
super(LabelWidget, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
Then I use it in forms like this:
class AccountForm(forms.Form):
name = forms.CharField(widget=LabelWidget)
business = forms.CharField(widget=LabelWidget(attrs={'size': 5}))
...
I set/add 'label' to the CSS class so I can style these differently. I
used a custom widget over explicit "form.initial['field']" syntax in
my template so I could let the form lay itself out automatically
treating all fields the same way.
