I'm missing the connection in newforms to get to the pieces I want to
manipulate in the templates.
I have a newform with a single ChoiceField, set up with a RadioSelect() widget:
example_choices = ((1,'a'),
(2,'b'),
(3,'c'),)
class ExampleForm(forms.Form):
choices =
forms.ChoiceField(choices=example_choices,widget=forms.RadioSelect())
def exampleview(request):
form = ExampleForm()
return render_to_response('example.html', {'form': form})
When I get that into the template, I can get to the choices:
{{form.choices}}
which renders out the <ul><li...</ul> bits.
In the newforms tests
(http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/tests/regressiontests/forms/tests.py#L643),
there's an example where it appears that you can get to the individual
pieces of that list set, and I'd like to be able to pull those apart
in the template and render that up a little differently from the
default.
As far as I understand it, {{form.choices}} is handing back a
BoundField object to the template context to work with - but I don't
know how I can delve through that to get to the RadioFieldRenderer,
where I can pull apart the choice list to more detail.
I'm hoping that I can write out something like this in a template to
style it up a little differently:
<ul class="myclass">
{% for rb in form.choices.something %}
{{ rb }}
{% endfor %}
Or even break it down farther and use rb.name, rb.value,
rb.choice_value, and rb.choice_label to display up the radio button
selection pieces. "rb" in this case being the RadioInput objects that
are shown in the tests at
http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/tests/regressiontests/forms/tests.py#L655
