I'm looking for a support for viewing models in templates. Forms is a nice support but it is made for editing objects, not for viewing objects. I found some attemps on the internet, like using forms with ReadOnlyWidgets, but I thing it is not the way.
Forms are great, because a template-designer can use the general as_table() and don't have to know too much about the model. And also the dependency between the model and templates are isolated via Forms. And also it is good when a template-designer can iterate through form fields or directly use fileds like form.theField attribute. Unfortunately there is no such support for viewing model instances in templates. Yes of course, there is a possibility use the "dot" like instance.theAttribute in the template, but this means strong template dependency on models and also the template designer can't use _meta informations like verbose names and so. Yes, I can make for my models some methods like constructTemplateDictionaryForXyView, feed the dictionary with model attributes and models opts, but what I am looking for are support classes like Form and ModelForm for constructing dictionares for HTML rendering from models metamodels. I am ready to write such support for myself, but it is a long task and propably i am thinking in wrong way, because nobody has written it yet. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
