Aha! Thanks... I've made a snippet :-) http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/237/ class ContactForm(forms.Form): to = forms.ModelChoiceField(ContactEmail.objects.all()) message = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea(attrs={'rows': 10, 'cols': 50})) def __init__(self, user, *args, **kwargs): super(ContactForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) # user isn't logged in, so ask him for an email from_field = forms.EmailField() if not user.is_anonymous(): from_field.widget = forms.HiddenInput from_field.initial = user.email # insert the field at the start of the fields new_fields = self.fields.items() new_fields.insert(0, ('from', from_field)) self.fields = SortedDictFromList(new_fields) - bram --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
