Hi all
I'm having problems trying to understand how to customise an element in a form.
Im using a TextField and I want the TextArea element to be much bigger in size.
From reading I gather one uses widgets. I found this page but it's quite
different
from the code in my model or view. http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/35/
I'm wanting something like <textarea name=="details" cols=60 rows=70></textarea>
The code below is a minimal example that displays something like this
+------------+
| |
Lots of text: +------------+
The textarea is about two lines high only. I want the text entry box to be much
bigger as it will be holding a full page of text including HTML tags.
MODELS
from django.db import models
class Contact(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(maxlength=500)
phone = models.CharField(maxlength=200)
details = models.TextField()
VIEWS
from contacts_tutorial.contacts.models import Contact
from django import newforms as forms
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
def test(request):
ContactForm = forms.form_for_model(Contact)
form = ContactForm()
data = { 'request': request,
'form': form,
}
return render_to_response('test.html', data)
TEMPLATE
<form action='{{ request.path }}' method='POST'>
Lots of text: {{ form.details }}
<input type=submit name='submit' value='Submit'>
</form>
