How do I hide the field label for a HiddenInput widget in Django Admin?

Question

I\'ve got a bit of Django form code that looks like this:

class GalleryAdminForm(forms.ModelForm):
    auto_id=False
    order = forms.CharField(widget=forms         


        

Answer 1

The following removes the ':' from all your form fields. I've only tried it with the forms.Form class, but I believe it should work for forms.ModelForm too.

In Django forms, the ':' after the labels is the label_suffix. You can change or remove the label_suffix by creating a subclass of ModelForm, here called UnstyledForm, and redefining the initialization function with label_suffix set to an empty string. Then use your new UnstyledForm class.

class UnstyledForm(forms.ModelForm):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        kwargs.setdefault('label_suffix', '')
        super(UnstyledForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

class GalleryAdminForm(UnstyledForm):
    auto_id=False
    order = forms.CharField(widget=forms.HiddenInput())

I hope that helps!
