Answer 1

From the documentation:

New in Django 1.4.

For more granular control over the generated markup, you can loop over the radio buttons in the template. Assuming a form myform with a field beatles that uses a RadioSelect as its widget:

{% for radio in myform.beatles %}

    {{ radio }}

{% endfor %}

In your template, you should have this:

{% for radio in types.checkbox_field %}
   {{ radio }}
{% endfor %}

You should also use a ModelMultipleChoiceField:

class TypeSelectionForm(forms.Form):
    checkbox_field = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(label="",
                                                    queryset=Types.objects.none(),
                                                    required=False)

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        qs = kwargs.pop('queryset')
        super(TypeSelectionForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields['checkbox_field'].queryset = qs

Initiate it like this from your view:

def types(method):
    """"""""""""
    qs = Types.objects.filter(parent_type_id=type_id,is_active=True)
    types = TypeSelectionForm(queryset=qs)
    return render(request,'types.html',{'types':'types'})
