I have an issue regarding template filter. I have used django allauth for user registration. I have edited its signup.html and used loop to iterate over the fields to show them dynamically. I could show the fields but could not define the type field.
What i did is
account/signup.html
{% load filters %}
<form class="signup" id="signup_form" method="post" action="{% url 'account_signup' %}">
{% csrf_token %}
{% for field in forms.visible_fields %}
<input type="{{ field.field.widget|input_type}}" name="{{ field.name }}" id="{{ field.id_for_label}}" class="form-control">
{% endfor %}
</form>
template filter inside main app(filters.py)
from django import template
register = template.Library()
@register.filter('input_type')
def input_type(ob):
return ob.__class__.__name__
templates location
'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')
As i am using django allauth where should i place my template filter code? Sign up form to extend the allauth form using first name and last name is inside main app.
The tag library should be placed in a templatetags directory in the root directory of the app:
See code layout from the docs:
When a Django app is added to
INSTALLED_APPS, any tags it defines in the conventional location described below are automatically made available to load within templates.The app should contain a
templatetagsdirectory, at the same level asmodels.py,views.py, etc. If this doesn’t already exist, create it - don’t forget the__init__.pyfile to ensure the directory is treated as a Python package.
