I have a form in django 1.6.5 like this:

{{{
#!python
class ExampleForm(forms.ModelForm):

id_image = forms.CharField(widget=forms.HiddenInput())
image = forms.ImageField(widget=CustomImageUploader())

# Tried this
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(ExampleForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
if self.instance and self.instance.pk:
self.fields['id_image'].widget = forms.HiddenInput()

class Meta:
fields = ('id_image', 'image',)
}}}

And I couldn't find a way to hide the form in the django's admin. I can't
exclude it because I have a custom form with a javascript function that
fills the id_image field, so the only way I have to do this is by hiding
the value, because it doesn't look nice for the end user.
