How can I disable a model field in a django form

Question

I have a model like this:

class MyModel(models.Model):
    REGULAR = 1
    PREMIUM = 2
    STATUS_CHOICES = ((REGULAR, \"regular\"), (PREMIUM, \"premium\"))
         


        

Answer 1

Just customize the widget instance for the status field:

class MyModel(models.Model):
    REGULAR = 1
    PREMIUM = 2
    STATUS_CHOICES = ((REGULAR, "regular"), (PREMIUM, "premium"))
    name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    status = models.IntegerField(choices = STATUS_CHOICES, default = REGULAR)

class MyForm(forms.ModelForm):
    status =  forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'readonly':'True'}))

    class Meta:
        model = models.MyModel
