Create a hidden field in the admin site

Question

How can I create a fully hidden field (input and label) in the admin site? I know about the exclude property, but it fully excludes the field from the template,

Answer 1

You're giving ModelForm in your example, not ModelAdmin you should be using for admin site.

Anyway, method of excluding some field is the same: specify it in exclude property:

class OutForm(ModelForm):
  class Meta:
    exclude = ["reply_to"]

or

class OutAdmin(ModelAdmin):
  exclude = ["reply_to"]

See Django documentation for details: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/ref/contrib/admin/
