[patch] Custom FormField attributes

Reported by: Winston Lee <lee.winston@…> Owned by: Adrian Holovaty
Component: Core (Other) Version: 0.95
Severity: normal Keywords: FormField attributes
Cc: Triage Stage: Unreviewed
Has patch: yes Needs documentation: no
Needs tests: no Patch needs improvement: no
Easy pickings: no UI/UX: no

Description

FormField objects don't allow users to add their own custom attributes. Modified the abstract FormField class to also require the attribute_dict property. This property allows users to define their own attributes to render. For XHTML compliance, output is property="value". Therefore, if you want readonly attribute it'll have to output as readonly="readonly":

  { 'readonly':'readonly' }

Usage example:

attributes = {
  'onclick':'javascript:alert(\'running\');',
  'tabindex':'1',
  'title':'This is a title!',
}

self.fields = (
  forms.TextField(field_name="fieldName", is_required=False, length=10, attribute_dict=attributes),
  forms.TextField(field_name="otherField", is_required=False, length=10)
)

Shouldn't break your existing manipulators.

Couldn't override the previous patch. django_forms_attributes.2.diff fixes a bug in TimeField class.

comment:2 by Bastian Kleineidam <calvin@…>, 18 years ago

Double quotes in attribute values should be escaped with backslash, something like this:

v = v.replace('"', '\\"')

Resolution: wontfix
Status: newclosed

Since the forms system is being rewritten, I'm marking this WONTFIX (even though it *will* be fixed, just not in the current incarnation <g>).
