Question

for field in FIELDS:
    row = []
    row.append("<tr>")
    row.append("<td>" + str(myform.fields.get(field)) + "</td>")
    row.append("</tr>")

    custom_fields.append("".join(row))

When I give the custom_fields variable to the template, all I’m getting is:

<tr><td><django.forms.widgets.CheckboxInput object at 0x1fa7d90></td></tr>

How can I get the form rendered properly?

This is what I’m going to be doing eventually:

form1 = CustomForm1()
form2 = CustomForm2()
form3 = CustomForm3()

for field in FIELDS:
    row = []
    row.append("<tr>")
    row.append("<td>" + str(form1.fields.get(field)) + "</td>")
    row.append("<td>" + str(form2.fields.get(field)) + "</td>")
    row.append("<td>" + str(form3.fields.get(field)) + "</td>")
    row.append("</tr>")

    custom_fields.append("".join(row))

So I can display all form fields together in one table.

Answer 1

I just figured this out. It’s form[field] instead of form.fields[field]

>>> f = MyForm()
>>> f
<myform.forms.MyForm object at 0x1fa7810>

>>> f['myfield']
<django.forms.forms.BoundField object at 0x20c7e50>

>>> f.fields['myfield']
<django.forms.fields.BooleanField object at 0x1fa7850>

so form.fields is a list of all unbound fields, and form.__getitem__ is a callable that returns the bound fields.
