Ajax auto-filtered Foreign Key Field
Say you have a ModelChoiceField and you want the choices to depend on the value of another field in the form... that's what these bits are for. They need to be used in conjunction with the Ajax views from: [code.google.com/p/django-ajax-filtered-fields/](http://code.google.com/p/django-ajax-filtered-fields/) See my blog for full details: [anentropic.wordpress.com](http://anentropic.wordpress.com) ...um, this is work in progress and the explanatory blog post is not up yet...

Add a CSS class to every field indicating what kind of field it is

Automatic Folder FileField
Your MEDIA_ROOT directories are a mess? FileField save on "upload_to" directories with old/strange/temporary names decided "on the fly" and never fixed down? SmartFolderFileField is the solution! "upload_to" directory depends only on: app, model and field names. No mess, no ambiguities Obviously, in case you need a real callable for a dynamic directory name: please use it! and leave apart FixedFolderFileField Sample: from django.db import models from utilities_app.models import SmartFolderFileField class SampleModel(models.Model): sample_char_field = models.CharField(max_length=50) sample_file_field = SmartFolderFileField()

Using Textarea
A very common field in forms is the `<textarea>`, but `newforms` has no such field. Instead, you must use a dummy field (such as `newforms.CharField`) and use the `newforms.widgets.Textarea()` widget to render a textarea.

Pretty Print Template Tag
This defines a new template tag that lets you print your rendered templates (or partial templates) in html that has been prettified by beautiful soup. It is dependent on the beautiful soup library (bs4). Not recommended for production but it is helpful for development and serving readable html. {% load whatever_template_file %}' <body> {% pretty %} <h1>Hello, world.</h1> {% endpretty %} </body>

Load initial form fields from GET parameters
It is often convenient to be able to specify form field defaults via GET parameters, such as /contact-us/?reason=Sales (where "reason" is the name of a form field for which we want a default value of "Sales"). This snippet shows how to set a form's initial field values from matching GET parameters while safely ignoring unexpected parameters.
