Subclass of the ModelForm which allows to make fields 'display_only'. This means no formfield will be displayed, but a suitable representation. You can make all fields display_only or just a few (or you can use the form as a normal modelform).
There are also some extra's to easily set attrs on fields or set help_texts on widgets when using this form.
Why ?
I made my own set of generic crud views based on newforms, but added a 'display' view to simply display objects, in the same table layout as the editing is done, but without the fields. I wanted to avoid having to redefine my forms twice and I wanted to reuse some generic templates as much as possible.
Obviously this is not good for performance, but I use it for an intranet app with a lot of objects, but not that big a load.
Their is definitely still a lot of room for improvement, and maybe all this could have been done much easier.
How to use? See the docstring.

Subclass of ModelForm
Can be used as normal ModelForm
but has the following extra's:
- making form display_only:
- determine the widget to use when displaying as display_only
(to add links to foreign keys and M2M fields: use the links attribute)
and
- adding attrs to widgets
- modifying help_texts in widgets
- set links on FK and M2M fields when display-only (requires the target
to have a get_absolute_url attribute)
- reorder fields
- set input and output formats on datefields uses settings.DATE_INPUT_FORMATS
and settings.DATE_OUTPUT_FORMAT
How to use?
Render a form display_only: this renders all the fields not with form fields
but with normal html.
example:
class MyForm(DisplayModelForm):
...
use form for editing:
form = MyForm(instance=myobject)
use form for displaying info (all fields display_only):
form = EventForm(instance=myobject, display_only = True)
or make only a few field display_only:
form = EventForm(instance=myobject, display_only = True,
display_fields=['title','category'])
to determine the widgets used when rendering as display_only add a
'displaywidgets' dict to the Meta class of the ModelForm
example:
class MyForm(DisplayModelForm):
class Meta:
displaywidgets = {
'location': DisplayTextURL(urlbase='/documents/')
}
# PS: do this if location is a charfield, not a foreign key
# for foreign keys, use the links attribute (see further)
Extra's:
- add an 'attrs' dict to the Meta class, for each field a dict of attrs
- add a 'help_texts' dict to Meta
- add a 'links' list of fields to Meta
- field ordering uses the fields list (as in ModelForm)
example:
class MyForm(DisplayModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Event
attrs = {
'title': {'size': 90},
}
help_texts = {
'title': 'Give me a title!'
}
links = ['category',]
