[https://djangoproject.com Django] forms are easily rendered as tables, paragraphs, and unordered lists. However, elegantly rendered div based forms is something you have to do by hand. The purpose of this application is to provide a simple tag and/or filter that lets you quickly render forms in a div format.
[https://sprawsm.com/uni-form Uni-form] has been selected as the base model for the design of the forms.
- Install as uni_form in your Django apps directory.
- Copy the site_media files in uni_form to your project site_media directory.
- uni-form-generic.css uni-form.css uni-form.jquery.js
- Add 'uni_form' to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py.
Add
{% load uni_form %}
to the template that calls your form.Append your form call with the as_uni_form filter:
{{ my_form|as_uni_form }}
Add the class of 'uniForm' to your form. Example:
<form action="" method="post" class="uniForm">
Refresh and enjoy!
In your form class add the following after field definitions:
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response from uni_form.helpers import FormHelper, Submit, Reset from my_project.forms.MyForm def my_view(request): # Create the form form = MyForm() # create a formHelper helper = FormHelper() # Add in a class and id helper.form_id = 'this-form-rocks' helper.form_class = 'search' # add in a submit and reset button submit = Submit('search','search this site') helper.add_input(submit) reset = Reset('reset','reset button') helper.add_input(reset) # create the response dictionary response_dictionary = {'form':form, 'helper': helper} return render_to_response('my_template.html', response_dictionary)
In your template do the following:
{% load uni_form %} {% uni_form form helper %}
In your form class add the following after field definitions:
from uni_form.helpers import FormHelper, Submit, Reset class MyForm(forms.Form): title = forms.CharField(label=_("Title"), max_length=30, widget=forms.TextInput()) # Attach a formHelper to your forms class. helper = FormHelper() # Add in a class and id helper.form_id = 'this-form-rocks' helper.form_class = 'search' # add in a submit and reset button submit = Submit('search','search this site') helper.add_input(submit) reset = Reset('reset','reset button') helper.add_input(reset)
In your template do the following:
{% load uni_form %} {% with form.helper as helper %} {% uni_form form helper %} {% endwith %}
