django form radio input layout

Question

What is the \"djangoy\" way to approach this problem:

In my form class, I have a forms.ChoiceField whose widget is a forms.RadioSelect widget, one of whose choices n

Answer 1

I would do this by subclassing RadioFieldRenderer and attaching it to a custom widget:

# forms.py
from django import forms
from django.forms.widgets import RadioSelect, RadioFieldRenderer
from django.template.loader import render_to_string
from myapp.models import RatherComplicatedModel


class MyRadioFieldRenderer(RadioFieldRenderer):
    def render(self):
        return render_to_string(
            'my_radio_widget.html',
                    {'field': self})


class MyRadioSelect(RadioSelect):
    renderer = MyRadioFieldRenderer


class RatherComplicatedForm(forms.ModelForm):
    RADIO_CHOICES = (
        ('none', "No Textbox"),
        ('one', "One Textbox: "),
    )
    rad = forms.ChoiceField(widget=MyRadioSelect(),choices=RADIO_CHOICES)

    class Meta:
        model = RatherComplicatedModel

Then the template:

#my_radio_widget.html

    {% for choice in field %}
        

            
                
                {{ choice.choice_label }}
            
        
    {% endfor %}
