Thanks! I think that's exactly what I need, but I still can't quite make
it work. If you'll bear with me, here's my model:
class MyProfile(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField("auth.User")
updated = models.DateField(auto_now=True)
postalcode = models.CharField(max_length=50)
skills = models.ManyToManyField(Skill)
and my form:
class MyProfileForm(ProfileForm):
class Meta(ProfileForm.Meta):
widgets = {
'skills': forms.TextInput(),
}
The "widgets" setting doesn't seem to affect my form at all; I'm still
getting a multi-select. I know that this form class is being used, because
if I have an error, it causes the page not to work :)
Thanks again for your help.
