widget rendering custom html

[Stefano Tranquillini]

Hi all,

I would like to personlize a widget adding an extra link. In particular I want to change the forms.widgets.CheckboxSelectMultiple .

I've read this: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/forms/renderers/  but I can't still make it working, I did this piece of code

class MultiChoiceFilterWidget(forms.widgets.CheckboxSelectMultiple):
 template_name = 'web_admin/partial/checkbox.html'

class PurposesChoiceForm(ModelForm):

class Meta:

 model = MyModel

 fields = ('myField',)

 widgets = {

 'myField': forms.widgets.CheckboxSelectMultiple,

 }

(indented correctly)

However, there's no way to make it running, what else should I do?

I also tried to put the .html directly inside my app template folder such as web/template/django/forms/widget/checkbox.html but with no luck.

does anyone can point me to a working example or tutorial?

do I've to setup the TemplatesSetting or is there another way to do it?

PS: i would like to personlize the widget just for this form, and not for all the forms.

The problem was that I've used cispy-form and apparently they don't work as expected.

PS: i wrote a post about how I modified the widget and the rest to make it look different, https://stefanotranquillini.wordpress.com/2018/04/03/beautiful-django-widget-for-multi-selection/
