#django

is there a django channel in spanish?

sydbarret: if there is it would be #django-es I expect

FunkyBob its almost empty. Ok let me ask you know how to display the primary key in the template?

{{ instance.pk }}

like this? id = forms.BigAutoField(disabled=True, required=False)

shinckel is that on the template?

Why do you want a primary key form input element? You don't want the user to be able to change that, do you?

sydbarret: stop using disabled form fields!

{{ form.instance.pk }}

FunkyBob i have to use disable to have them readonly If I dont use that the user can edit the field

you don't need it on the form at all!

Yeah, disabled should only be a thing if it's likely to be enabled by JS under certain circumstances.

Otherwise, just leave it off the form.

But when I left it i can edit the fields

No, leave the whole field off!

we've been over this, sydbarret

FunkyBob you didnt explain well haha

I told you: if you don't want the user to edit the field, do not put it on the form

how much simpler do you want it?

and im telling you it doest work

what doesn't work?

it renders and they i can edit

and it shouldnt let me

show the code

Show us your form class definition.

and the view where you build the modelform_set

so you dropped the fields list I told you to put on before

and the complete view is here https://dpaste.de/EZkS

Just how crispy are Django crispy forms?

PaulWay[w]: meh

OK :-)

sydbarret: Don't use exclude. List the fields you want in fields instead.

perhaps im confounded witth the other conditions, if you see the view I have 3 if statements

some of them might be enabling the fields?

cause the fields are editable

and only checkbox should editable

So only include that field. Get rid of exclude altogether.

schinckel and how do i prevent the fields to be editable

cause right now they are

Don't include those fields: instead just render the value using {{ form.instance.<field> }}

they are only readonly when I put a_search_term=forms.CharField(disabled=True,required=False)

...

yes you keep saying that... and we keep saying don't do that

funky check this pic https://photos.app.goo.gl/F74UobPHixPUhq8v7

im able to edit those boxes

and user should not do it

let me restart the service

cause at the moment my form has only the meta class you paste it

funky could it be because the other if statements? Im using GET method to filter the formset based on 4 combo boxes

it could be you're editing the entirely wrong form class, for all we know

I have 2 GET and 1 POST

also we haven't seen your template

my template is https://dpaste.de/N16o

sydbarret: in your view function, just bfore your call the modelform_set factory... print(FixChangesForm.fields.keys())

which line?

i have many modelformset_factory

how many views are we talking about right now?

just the 1 I hope

let me paste you the whole view

its a single view but I have 3 if statements depending which button was clicked

so you've left in the bit wehere you pass a full list of fields

.... and then wonder why it treats it as you passing a fuill list of fields

in the modelformset_factory calls... STOP passing fields lists... since you've defined them on the Form class itself

so I have to delete the fields=(..) there?

yes

but how will it render them?

as I told you earlier

in the forms you made me delete

you can still access all the values on the model instance

by accessing form.instance

so render _them_

so after delete them where I have to put the list?

delete which? put which list?

if i understand I have to delete the fields=(.... from all my modelformset_factory

yes

and then?

then edit your template

for all the values you want to show that are not form fields... access them as form.instance.whatever

because at that point form.instance is the model instance that form is editing

ok let me try

they appear but they lost the format. the boxes got lost

because they're no longer rendered as html inputs

the main point is the forms now will absolutely NOT update anything but that one field

but now also clientrevert is readonly

If you really (for visual purposes) want to render them as disabled inputs, then you can do that quite easily.

<input {% if form.instance.<field> %}checked=checked{% endif %} type=checkbox>

sydbarret: you left that as {{ form.clientrevert }} right?

oh so without instance

05:25 <+FunkyBob> for all the values you want to show that are not form fields... access them as form.instance.whatever

cool works now

so how do i set them with format ?

they are too tight together

"them"?

yes the columns

stop being so vague!
