Hi --
I'm creating a FormSet and want to include some data in the form output
that is not an html input element.
Some of the data I pass to the FormSet, which gets passed to the form, I
just want to display, I don't want to put it into an HTML input
element. I want it to be available in the template. Here is what I
tried, which doesn't work:
class SectionForm(forms.Form):
section_id = forms.IntegerField(label='Section ID:', required=False,
widget=forms.HiddenInput())
section_title = forms.CharField(label='Title', required=True)
section_text = forms.CharField(label='', widget=forms.Textarea,
required=True)
def __init__(self, data=None, auto_id='id_%s', prefix=None,
initial=None, empty_permitted=False):
super (SectionForm, self).__init__(data, auto_id, prefix,
initial, empty_permitted)
# This is what I want to do, more or less, but it won't work
(TypeError: unscriptable object)
#self.s3_audio_file = initial['s3_audio_file']
In the template, I want to display s3_audio_file, but I don't need or
want it to be editable. It's for information only. Just text, or
html-formatted text.
{{ form.s3_audio_file }}
Is there some way to have the form contain arbitrary data that I pass to
it with the "initial" dictionary?
Perhaps, I have to create a faux Widget and Custom field? That seems
like a long way around for something that should be simple.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Best,
Liam
Also, I was unsure about what to do with empty_permitted -- I got an
error before I added it to the super() call.
