Feature request - models.TextInAParagraphField

[wigm...@gmail.com]

Hello,

It would be very helpful to create forms in the model only. The thing I miss
is a simple text in the model that would appear in the output form exactly
on the position from the model as text e.g. in a Paragraph.

I fail to do it myself from documentation.

Example :

in models.py

class Example(models.Model):
    Name                       = models.CharField(max_length=100,blank=True,null=True)
    # Now a field that needs no DB representation
    Question_TIW         = models.TextInAParagraphField(verbose_name='Some informational Text')
    # or assign verbose_name later in view
    Ans1_OKH               = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    Ans2_OKH               = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    Ans3_OKH               = models.BooleanField(default=False)

in views.py

class ExampleNew(MyCreateView):
    # I use model based views only
    # Here Labels get added and Texts for Information get added to the context
    #
    form_class = ExampleForm

in forms.py

class ExampleForm(BootstrapForm):
    # class based form
    # In BootstrapForm attributes are added to widgets and Tooltips get added for Popovers
    #
    Meta=BootstrapMeta(Example)
        #
        # In BootstrapMeta widgets and renderers get assigned / I use it this way
        # endswith '_OKH' is a horizontal SelectButton with Label to the right as DIV row
        # to endswith '_TIW' I would assign a new TextInWellRenderer :)
        #

urls.py

url(r'^example/$', ExampleNew.as_view(mymodel=Example),   name='example'),

########################################

So 6 lines of code per Form (maybe 4, as I use the same view for many models)
 + One line each Field
 + Generic code

Result should be a Form

with a Name input,
followed by the text,
followed by Select Buttons to click
followed by a submit button

/example

I think that would make forms in Django a lot easier to use and more effective
with less work to do.

kind regards
Reiner
