Re: Easy way to make all form fields read only?

I would suggest you adding Boolean field to your UserProfile model like is_authorized = models.BooleanField(default=False) and then in the templates do something like: {% if user.is_authorized %} {% else %} On Thu, Nov 1, 2012 at 9:09 AM, Elena Williams wrote: > I

Re: Easy way to make all form fields read only?

I was also going to suggest using crispy forms -- having used it on a recent project I'd strongly recommend it (it's great when it's plugged in to existing stylings such as: uni-form or bootstrap). I've used it with ModelForm using Layout() and Field() and it works a treat. --- Elena :) @elequ

Re: Easy way to make all form fields read only?

I used to invest something similar; i wanted to to built a read view next to an update view that looks identical except for that read is obviously read-only. I used crispy-forms to do just that; recently an UneditableField (Layout) was added next to Field. You do however either need to

Re: Easy way to make all form fields read only?

On the UI side, you can set the "readonly" property on form fields. This will prevent the field from being edited in a browser (I think so - done that only once on a small internal project). However, we warned - if *some* of your users can edit and submit the form, you should also introduce

Re: Easy way to make all form fields read only?

Hiya Matt, As you already noticed yourself there are lots of different possible approaches to what you're talking about. But it depends on where/how the form is getting to the page. How are you rendering the form? Are you using `forms.Form`? Do you mean "user's credentials" from
