Customizing form fields display

Can anyone suggest a way to customize model field display? For example if I have a model called Course with fields n_girls and n_students, if for a particular record n_girls = 4 and n_students = 10, I want to display for n_girls: "40% (4)" instead of just "4". Obviously I can do this in the

Extra attributes in model fields

I'd like to store extra attributes in the model fields so I can control the subsequent field-specific behavior from there. Let's say I have a model that stores metrics I then need to chart. In the view, I prefer not to have some logic that says: metrics = Metric.object.all()

Customizing ModelForm fields appearance

I really like the concept of generating a form from a model using ModelForm but would like to customize the apprearance slightly (e.g. size of the TextInput etc.). Any suggestion as to how to do this? I looked at the forms module code but got lost in the maze of the meta programming... Thanks

Using the test client to verify form fields content

I'd like to use the test client to verify that when there's an error in a form field, the input field in the response is populated with the original input. So I'd like to do something like: iteration = 'bad data' response = self.client.post('/metrics/add/', { 'iteration' :

ModelForms customization conundrum

Maybe I'm missing something here but I've been struggling with some basic forms customization issues. I'm using ver. 1.0 I have created a simple model (Metric) and a form to go with it, deriving from django.forms.ModelForm with the model set it the Meta as per the examples. Out-of-the-box the

ifequal template tag quirks

I tried to compare user ids in a template almost exactly like the example in the docs: {% ifequal user_id copy.checkout.user.id %} however, it seems like user_id (a context variable I'm passing) is a string and the other id that comes from the model is a long so the comparison always fails.

newforms.form_for_model() does not map CharField with choices into SELECT

I am generating a form for a model that contains a CharField with choices. According to the documentation I expect to see this translated into a SELECT form field but all I get is a simple TEXT form field: models.py: class Publication(models.Model): PUBLICATION_TYPES = ( ('B',

Django database API - What is it good for?

I've been playing around with Django for a couple of weeks. I'm finding myself spending most of my type tinkering with the Database API to try to wrestle the information I need out of my database. At this point it looks to me like I have replaced one set of incantations (SQL) for another

newforms - form for multiple models

Re: Including view in a template

k the existing views would just work fine. Regarding custom template tags, I guess I expect many users to want to use django this way, so I think that having a "load_view" template element would be useful. Don't you agree? Cheers, Sagi On Aug 1, 10:29 pm, "James Bennett" <

Including view in a template

I am trying to find a way to include a view in a template. The view generates an html snippet based on a DB query + another template. In pseudocode what I am trying to achieve is: frontpage_template.html: {{% include header.html %}} {{% load /views/list_users %}} {{% load /views/latest_articles

Null=True not respected by admin?

I created a table where some of the fields have null=True since it's okay for them to be empty. Looking at the schema in mysql this option was correctly translated into the DB's schema, however when I try to add an entry via the admin interface I get errors on those fields saying that 'This field
