[patch] add "readonly" attribute to form fields

Description

I often have forms with readonly fields. This patch adds an "readonly" attribute to all form fields, and an optional parameter to all init methods. For some elements (select and checkbox) it actually uses the "disabled" attribute, but it's much nicer to use "readonly" in init() consistently.

Just a small note on the models patch, there is no purpose for it if you're just using contrib.admin, because that hides fields which aren't editable.

I still think it's useful to pass is_readonly to a model's FormFields in case someone is doing something more low-level.

I still maintain this patch, but I'm tired of putting it here after each merge conflict. If you use this and want an up to date version, please contact me by email ;-)

Resolution: wontfix
Status: newclosed

I'm closing this since the old forms stuff is deprecated and new forms allow this in a more generic way.

override admin.ModelAdmin like

def formfield_for_dbfield(self, db_field, **kwargs):
    if db_field.name == readOnlyField:
        kwargs["widget"] = AdminTextInputWidget(attrs={"readonly":"readonly"})

    super(className, self).formfield_for_dbfield(db_field, **kwargs)
