read only/hidden form fields

[c.po...@bangor.ac.uk]

Hi

I want to be able to pass the values of certain form fields to the form
and have them rendered as read only or hidden fields.

Is there an elegant way of doing this?

Thanks

Found a really tidy way of doing this.

Created a new css style based on the Django Wide and Collapse styles
calld Hide

/* CUSTOM TYPE hide */
.hide label { width:15em !important; }
.colM .hide select { visibility: hidden; }
fieldset.hide * { display:none; }

Then in the model simply grouped together the fields I wanted to hide
and applied the Hide class to that fieldset

class Question(meta.Model):
fields = (
meta.ForeignKey(Student),
meta.ForeignKey(Group),
meta.ForeignKey(QuestionType),
meta.CharField('question', maxlength=250),
)

admin = meta.Admin(save_as=True,
fields = (
(None, {'fields': ('question', 'questiontype_id')}),
('Hidden Info', {'fields': ('student_id', 'group_id', ),
'classes': 'hide'}),
),

)
