We do this because Django won't let you apply classes directly to input elements without going rather deep into the widget rendering logic. I think the rationale is that swapping Bootstrap out should be a matter of changing CSS only.
I haven't found this to be a problem when customizing the looks of a Bootstrap site, you simply need to change the CSS selectors of your customizations. If you want to apply the CSS as suggested by the Bootstrap docs, there are several Django packages that provide template tags to render form inputs the Bootstrap way. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Mezzanine Users" group.
