    <p>I wasn't able to find a way to identify the type of a field in a django template. My solution was to create a simple filter to access the field and widget class names. I've included the code below in case it's helpful for someone else.</p> <p>Is there a better approach?</p> <pre><code>## agency/tagutils/templatetags/fieldtags.py ############################################################### from django import template register = template.Library() @register.filter(name='field_type') def field_type(value): return value.field.__class__.__name__ @register.filter(name='widget_type') def widget_type(value): return value.field.widget.__class__.__name__ ## client/project/settings.py ############################################################### INSTALLED_APPS = ( # ... 'agency.tagutils', ) ## client/project/templates/project/field_snippet.html ############################################################### {% load fieldtags %} &lt;div class="field {{ field|field_type }} {{ field|widget_type }} {{ field.name }}"&gt; {{ field.errors }} &lt;div class="form_label"&gt; {{ field.label_tag }} &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="form_field"&gt; {{ field }} &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; ## sample output html ############################################################### &lt;div class="field CharField TextInput family_name"&gt; &lt;div class="form_label"&gt; &lt;label for="id_family_name"&gt;Family name&lt;/label&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="form_field"&gt; &lt;input id="id_family_name" type="text" name="family_name" maxlength="64" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COThat's pretty cool, but seems a bit of overengineering? input tags are always character text, and textareas always textareas, etc. and you have id tags to boot. Surely you can get the desired look by putting the same amount of effort into the CSS?

    3. COIt seems like setting the Widget.attrs value to include a meaningful class / name would be less complex and considerably clearer when looking at the style sheet.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
