Forms ModelMultipleChoiceField with checkboxes?

[Benjamin Wolf]

Hello,

I'm using Django's form and ModelMultipleChoiceField.
ModelMultipleChoiceField produces a select list with multiple options.
Is it possible to use
checkboxes instead?

Thanks,
Greets Ben

Yes, have a look at this: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/widgets/#specifying-widgets

The widget class for Checkboxes would be django.forms.widgets import
CheckboxSelectMultiple

Hope that helps.

I think the easiest way is to make your own widget or otherwise you
can make your own form field.

leoz01, Django comes with a widget for precisely this use case (check
link above). Creating your own would be a complete waste of time.

That widget doesn't seem to look right on *any* browser. It's got
this weird step-like appearance. Firefox is the only browser where it
appears even close to acceptable. I might be submitting a patch for
the CSS soon... It's horrible.

Actually-- quick followup:

The widget looks alright if you haven't got the 'aligned' css class on
the fieldset. But if you do, watch out :P

Hi there,

very nice, the CheckboxSelectMultiple is what I want.
But one thing:
The default rendering of the checkboxes is
<li>
<label for="id"><input type="checkbox" id="id" name="id"/>
Lagerbevorratung</label>
</li>

it would be great if I could display the input-element outside of the
label-tag.
Perhaps it is possible to iterate over the options of the
CheckboxSelectMultiple-Field in the template?

Thanks again,
greets b
