POdjango how to use template tags
text
Body
copied!<p>So I want to use this getattribute function (found on this link) <a href="https://snipt.net/Fotinakis/django-template-tag-for-dynamic-attribute-lookups/" rel="nofollow">https://snipt.net/Fotinakis/django-template-tag-for-dynamic-attribute-lookups/</a></p> <p>in my django templates. I created a templatetags folder in my app folder where my models.py is. I also created and saved an empty <strong>inint</strong>.py file in the templatetags folder. I then created a file called getattribute.py in the template tags folder and copy-pasted the snippet found in the link above into the getattribute.py file and saved the file. </p> <p>This is what my template looks like:</p> <pre><code><html> <body> <form method="post" action="">{% csrf_token %} {{ form.first_name }} {{form.last_name }} <br> {{ form.username }} {{ form.password }} <br> <input type="submit" value="Register"/> </form> {% load getattribute %} {% for field, error in form.errors.items %} {% if forloop.counter == 1 %} {% with field_obj=form|getattribute:field %} {{ field_obj.label }}{{ error | striptags }} {% endwith %} {% endif %} {% endfor %} </body> </html> </code></pre> <p>This is how my models.py looks.</p> <pre><code>class Users(models.Model): alpha_field = RegexValidator(regex=r'^[a-zA-Z]+$', message='Name can only contain letters') user_id = models.AutoField(unique=True, primary_key=True) username = models.SlugField(max_length=50, unique=True) first_name = models.CharField(max_length=50, verbose_name='first Name', validators=[alpha_field]) last_name = models.CharField(max_length=50, validators=[alpha_field]) password = models.SlugField(max_length=50) </code></pre> <p>My forms.py is this.</p> <pre><code>class UsersForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Users widgets = {'password':forms.PasswordInput()} def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super( UsersForm, self ).__init__(*args, **kwargs) self.fields[ 'username' ].widget.attrs[ 'placeholder' ]="Username" self.fields[ 'first_name' ].widget.attrs[ 'placeholder' ]="First Name" self.fields[ 'last_name' ].widget.attrs[ 'placeholder' ]="Last Name" self.fields[ 'password' ].widget.attrs[ 'placeholder' ]="Password" self.fields['first_name'].label='first Name' </code></pre> <p>and this is my views.py</p> <pre><code>def home_page(request): form = UsersForm() if request.method == "POST": form = UsersForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): form.save() c = {} c.update(csrf(request)) c.update({'form':form}) return render_to_response('home_page.html', c) </code></pre> <p>Now, when I run the server, the form is displayed with no errors. However, if I purposely not fill out the first name section and hit submit, it says "This field is required." I want it to say the verbose name and the snippet is supposed to make it say the verbose name if, in my template, I use {{ field_obj.label }}, right? But it is not display the verbose name for some reason. I'm guessing it is because I'm not using the templatetags properly?</p>
