Question

I would like to insert a header in a Django form. I have the following fields:

Name
Price

Optional - Size
Optional - Color

But instead of having the “Optional – ” in every optional item, I would like a header, so the form looks like this:

Name
Example

Optional fields:
Size
Color

(This is pseudocode but should be easy to illustrate my point)

I know i can render each individual form field in the HTML, but I would like to still use the {{ form.as_p }} (so I don’t have to change the markup for every new field I want to add). Is there any way to define a Django property for the form so I can preserve the form.as_p and still have this additional header (and more headers for more sections of fields)?

Thank you

Answer 1

Well, for lack of a better option, I solved this problem by rendering the form’s individual fields instead of the whole form.

Then I only have to do:

<div class="fieldWrapper">
    (...Field 1...)
</div>

<h1>My Own Header</h1>

<div class="fieldWrapper">
    (...Field 2...)
</div>
