Description

In learning about how to use the newforms from within the templates, I thought I'd write it up from a template designer's point of view to make the newforms a little more accessible. I've submitted the update to the docs as a patch, attached to this bug.

documentation updates v2

comment:2 by heckj@…, 18 years ago

I added some more documentation - putting in an example view just above "Outputting to HTML" to bring together all of the components above. I also put in a few more "template" references on rendering of the form using shortcuts as_p, as_ul, and as_table.

Patch needs improvement: set

Thanks for the documentation. Is this complete now, or are you still working on this?

A few comments:

  • It appears that you have possibly mixed some tabs in there as the indention is nonuniform.
  • In the view code, I believe it is better practice to use "if request.method == 'POST'" instead of "if request.POST".

I'll clean up the tabs and change the view code per your suggestions, then I'll call it done for this set. I need to learn more about Widgets and the variety of ways of using them before I attack more docs.
