from django import template register = template.Library() @register.filter def form_row(value): # Change the template string below to suit your needs. row = template.Template(""" <div class="form-row{% if field.errors %} errors{% endif %}"> {{ field.errors }}{{ field.label_tag }}{{ field }} </div> """) return row.render(template.Context({'field': value}))

I love newforms. But sometimes using {{ form }} within a template doesn't give you enough flexibility. The other option, manually defining the markup for each field, is tedious, boring and error-prone.

This is an example of how you can use a template filter to get the best of both worlds. Use it like this to render an entire form:

{% for field in form %}

    {{ field|form_row }}

{% endfor %}

Or use it on a per-field basis:

<fieldset>

    {{ form.first_name|form_row }}

    {{ form.last_name|form_row }}

</fieldset>
