I have a model:
from django.db import modelsCHOICES = ( ('s', 'Glorious spam'), ('e', 'Fabulous eggs'),)class MealOrder(models.Model): meal = models.CharField(max_length=8, choices=CHOICES)
I have a form:
from django.forms import ModelFormclass MealOrderForm(ModelForm): class Meta: model = MealOrder
And I want to use formtools.preview. The default template prints the short version of the choice ('e' instead of 'Fabulous eggs'), becuase it uses
{% for field in form %}<tr><th>{{ field.label }}:</th><td>{{ field.data }}</td></tr>{% endfor %}.
I'd like a template as general as the mentioned, but printing 'Fabulous eggs' instead.
[as I had doubts where's the real question, I bolded it for all of us :)]
I know how to get the verbose version of a choice in a way that is itself ugly:
{{ form.meal.field.choices.1.1 }}
The real pain is I need to get the selected choice, and the only way coming to my mind is iterating through choices and checking {% ifequals currentChoice.0 choiceField.data %}
, which is even uglier.
Can it be done easily? Or it needs some template-tag programming? Shouldn't that be available in django already?
