Based on the following image, I am trying to make the fields category and current points non-editable when the status of the task is Finalized
or Cancelled
, otherwise the fields should be editable.
Below is the code from my html file.
{% extends "base.html" %} {% load widget_tweaks %}
{% block content %}
<div id="form-group">
<form method="POST" action="." enctype="multipart/form-data">
{% csrf_token %}
<label>Select your category</label>
{{ form.category|add_class:"card" }}
<label>What's the status of the task?</label>
{{ form.status|add_class:"card" }}
<label>Current points:</label>
{{ form.points|add_class:"card" }}
<label>Finalized date:</label>
{{ form.ending_date|add_class:"card" }}
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Send</button>
</form>
</div>
Below is the code from my forms.py
file.
class TaskModelForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model= Task
fields = ['category', 'status', 'points']
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(TaskModelForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['status'].required = False
self.fields['points'].required = False
When I want to edit the contents of this form I need to verify if the status is Finalized, so the fields are non-editable, otherwise the fields should be editable and I am thinking something about:
{% extends "base.html" %} {% load widget_tweaks %}
{% block content %}
{% if form.status.value == 'Active' %} <!--make the fields editable -->
<div id="form-group">
<form method="POST" action="." enctype="multipart/form-data">
{% csrf_token %}
<label>Select your category</label>
{{ form.category|add_class:"card" }}
...
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Send</button>
</form>
</div>
{% endif %}
{% if form.status.value == 'Finalized' %} <!--make the fields non-editable -->
<div id="form-group">
<form method="POST" action="." enctype="multipart/form-data">
{% csrf_token %}
<label>Select your category</label>
{{ form.category|add_class:"card" }}
...
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Send</button>
</form>
</div>
{% endif %}
However, I believe my approach might not work because this could be a more front-end problem rather than back-end one (just a guess). Can you point me out to the right direction to solve this problem?
