On customization/translation of delete option for CRUD forms

[Alan Etkin]

Hi

I'm looking for an easy way of customizing the " check to delete" text of the CRUD modify form. I've tried using form.custom, but the label does not appear on the labels dict. I know I could just use form.custom in a custom template and use only the widgets without labels. What I'm trying is some means of translating the delete option label, in a similar way as using the label attribute of Field.

Regards

Alan

You are right. There is no easy way to do it. Will add.

When/If my widgets refactor is merged back, the delete checkbox could be handled as a Widget I think, by treating it as a Field, just one which doesn't come from the form itself but is created ad-hoc by the FormStyleFactory.

I also just posted: https://groups.google.com/g/py4web/c/b3uwN7G3aUI which proposes a refactor for the layer above widgets, namely how Forms handle the list of fields, which could, if implemented, make this even nicer by having a default delete FormInput instance.
