FieldStack simplifies forms template rendering. This is enhanced version of snippet [1786](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1786/)
Create form atribute(s) for grouping (bound) fields.
This snipped removes a specific fields from the fieldsets. This is very useful to leave a field 'out' in the admin, likewise: def get_fieldsets(self, request, obj=None): fieldsets = super(BlaModelAdmin, self).get_fieldsets(request, obj) if not request.user.has_perm('change_blah'): remove_from_fieldsets(fieldsets, ('blah',))
This snippet was inspired by [1783](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1783/). It allows simply create groups of fields for template rendering.
I've devised a DRY method of declaring django fieldsets: ** Example usage: ** 1. Include the attached code in `fieldsets.py` 2. `models.py`: from django.db import models from fieldsets import Fieldset, ModelWithFieldsets class Person(ModelWithFieldsets): #instead of models.Model # this field will be placed in nameless fieldset example_field = models.IntegerField() # this fieldset will be grouped into one row Fieldset(grouped=True) first_name = models.CharField(max_length=64) surname = models.CharField(max_length=64) Fieldset("Contact Details", classes=('collapse',)) mobile_phone = models.CharField(max_length=10) email_address = models.EmailField() Fieldset("Address") street_address = models.CharField(max_length=255) # the next two fields will be grouped into one row of this fieldset Fieldset.new_group(2) suburb = models.CharField(max_length=64) state = models.CharField(max_length=64) 3. `admin.py`: from django.contrib import admin from models import Person from fieldsets import Fieldset class PersonAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): fieldsets = Fieldset.get_fieldsets(Person) admin.site.register(Person, PersonAdmin) This example produces the equivalent of manually typing: fieldsets = ( (None, {'fields': ('example_field')}), (None, {'fields': (('first_name', 'surname'),)}), ('Contact Details', { 'fields': ('mobile_phone', 'email_address'), 'classes': ('collapse',)}), ('Address', {'fields': ('street_address', ('suburb', 'state'))}) ) But now if you want to rearrange your fields, rename, delete, insert, etc, you won't need to remember to update the fieldsets in the ModelAdmin. This implementation is a bit of a hack, but I believe a cleaner equivalent should be implemented in django itself.
This template tag build a Form splitted in fieldsets. The fieldsets are configured with a second parameter, that is a tuple like the one used in the Admin class in models in the attribute "fields". You pass to the template the form and the tuple and than use them as parameters for the templatetag. You can take a look at the source and modify It to build forms the way you like. It is very useful If you do not like the way Django build forms with the methods as_p, as_ul or as_table and also do not like to write html by hand.
