Checkboxes collection instead of a multiple select

[Jonathan Querubina]

Hi guys,

How do i show a collection of checkboxes instead of a multiple select?

Thanks!

Sounds like you want to change the widget on a form:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/forms/widgets/

Specifically, changing it from a SelectMultiple widget to a
CheckboxSelectMultiple:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/forms/widgets/#checkboxselectmultiple

Cheers

Tom,

Thanks for the feedback!

This can be used on the admin form?

Absolutely, simply override the widget for that specific field when
you register your ModelAdmin for that model:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.formfield_overrides
