Hi, I'd like to make a mixin to set the placeholder text in the widget attrs.
Reading this https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/5793, it seems that extending Meta for custom fields is somewhat discouraged. Would the following be the recommended way to do it? Just adding a class variable to the Form class? class PlaceHolderMixin(object): placeholders = {} def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super(PlaceHolderMixin, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) for field_name, field in self.fields.items(): if field_name not in self.placeholders: continue self.fields[field_name].widget.attrs['placeholder'] = self.placeholders[field_name] class MyForm(PlaceHolderMixin, ModelForm): placeholders = { 'name': 'blah blah', 'owner': 'blah blah', } class Meta: model = MyModel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
