13269	"""Overriding the default widgets"" docs missing import statement"	Matthew Rowbottom	Gabriel Hurley	"Hi.

I'm new to django and am using the development version from SVN v1.2.0 beta.1 (rev 12909)

I am unsure of whether there is a problem in the code, docs or my own app. I'm providing this as a solution to a problem I faced, based on information found in the docs.

The first example given in the following section of the docs would not work for me...
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/modelforms/#overriding-the-default-field-types-or-widgets

{{{
class AuthorForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Author
        fields = ['name', 'title', 'birth_date']
        widgets = {
            'name': Textarea(attrs={'cols': 80, 'rows': 20}),
        }
}}}

From reading through the docs, I presume that the only import required is:

{{{
from django.forms import ModelForm
}}}

When I attempted to run the development server, I receive the following error message:
{{{
NameError: name 'Textarea' is not defined
}}}

My solution was the following:

{{{
from django import forms

class AuthorForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Author
        fields = ['name', 'title', 'birth_date']
        widgets = {
            'name': forms.Textarea(attrs={'cols': 80, 'rows': 20}),
        }
}}}

In summary, I made the following changes:

{{{
Line 1 - from django import forms
Line 3 - class AuthorForm(forms.ModelForm):
Line 8 - 'name': forms.Textarea(...),
}}}

I hope this is of some help."		closed	Documentation	1.2-beta		fixed	widgets, form field types		Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
