I cobbled these two classes together which work very nicely for me, wish they could make into django. Drop these two classes into a util.py and import them instead of Form or ModelForm. When you want your form readonly instantiate it with "form=MyForm(record, readonly=True)"
class roForm(forms.Form): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): self.readonly = False if kwargs.has_key('readonly'): if kwargs['readonly']: self.readonly = True kwargs.pop('readonly') super(roForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) if self.readonly: for key in self.fields.iterkeys(): self.fields[key].widget.attrs['disabled'] = True class roModelForm(forms.ModelForm): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): self.readonly = False if kwargs.has_key('readonly'): if kwargs['readonly']: self.readonly = True kwargs.pop('readonly') super(roModelForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) if self.readonly: for key in self.fields.iterkeys(): self.fields[key].widget.attrs['disabled'] = True On Aug 3, 2:36 pm, snipinben <benjamin.calderon1...@gmail.com> wrote: > I was wondering how to make a field readonly when you click on it or want to > change the record. and i have done that with the readonly_feilds method. but > that makes it to where you cant add information to that feild when you add a > new record. is there something i can use where you are not able to edit a > feild in the change view, but when you add new, you are able to edit the > field until you press save? thanks alot > -- > View this message in > context:http://old.nabble.com/how-to-make-readonly-in-change-but-editable-in-... > Sent from the django-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
