django form customization

[Billy Huang]

Hey everyone I'm looking at the customising the form template in https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/

does anyone know where is this file? or where should i create it.

[Matthew Fernandez]

Is this for a particular project or are you just asking about Django in general?

[Billy Huang]

in general

[Matthew Fernandez]

Ah, in that case I can't help. Anyone else know Django well?

[Billy Huang]

thx matt, probably make it more specific

i got this {{form.as_p}}, but i need more control at the dom. I'm trying to add these template tags into this file see if it works.

Is the "Customizing the form template" section what you're after?

i.e. {% for field in form %} to iterate over the properties in the form, or {{ form.name_of_field }} to display the HTML for a single field property.

If you need per-field customisation of HTML though, I'm not familiar with how to do that; each field is a BoundField. BoundField object though 

so that might have a way to override form input widgets for each type.
