Question

This is my forms.py file:

from django import forms

class MusicCheckboxForm(forms.Form):
    songs = forms.MultipleChoiceField(widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple())

I want use the forms.py file to produce the multi-columns table with the checkbox insert to the first column, But I don’t want hard code <input type="checkbox" ...> to the template.
And I want the multi-columns look like this:

All song artist album genre date
[]  aaa  Smith  fdaf  rock 2001
[]  bbb  Davis  fdsaf blue 2002
[]  ccc  Doe    dfaj  sjaf 2000

The snippet of my template looks like this:

<table class="list" summary="musics">
  <caption>
    music list
  </caption>
  <tr>
    <th>All</th>
    <th>song</th>
    <th>artist</th>
    <th>album</th>
    <th>genre</th>
    <th>date</th>
  </tr>
  {% for info in all_info %}
  <tr>
    <td>
      <!-- I want put checkbox here -->
    </td>

    {% if info|hasattr:"title" %}
      <td>{{ info.title }}</td>
    {% else %}
      <td></td>
    {% endif %}

    {% if info|hasattr:"artist" %}
      <td>{{ info.artist }}</td>
    {% else %}
      <td></td>
    {% endif %}

    {% if info|hasattr:"album" %}
      <td>{{ info.album }}</td>
    {% else %}
      <td></td>
    {% endif %}

    {% if info|hasattr:"genre" %}
      <td>{{ info.genre }}</td>
    {% else %}
      <td></td>
    {% endif %}

    {% if info|hasattr:"date" %}
      <td>{{ info.date }}</td>
    {% else %}
      <td></td>
    {% endif %}
  </tr>
  {% endfor %}
</table>

django-tables2 simplifies transforming data into HTML tables. It does for HTML tables what django.forms does for HTML forms..
