In my Django 1.7 application, I am trying to use the MultiValueField class to implement a password form element / password confirmation, i.e. two separate password fields requiring user input and then confirmation of a new password. I already got this working with two separate fields and the clean() method in my form, but the “single” MultiValueField seems to be the best way to uphold the DRY principle, especially since I will need to duplicate this not only in my form user registration, but also when users want to change their passwords.
However, my front-end is quite specific, but not the least significant bit, like Django default form output, so I manually render my form fields . This works great - until I get to MultiValueField. For each form field, my HTML looks like this:
<div class="row collapse"> <div class="small-2 columns"> <span class="prefix"><i class="fi-mail"></i></span> </div> <div class="small-10 columns {% if form.email.errors %}error{% endif %}"> {{ form.email }} {% if form.email.errors %}<small class="error">{{ form.email.errors }}</small>{% endif %} </div> </div>
I need to do a similar formatting for each of the subfields of form.password , but none of what I tried provided me with a rendering subfield; the closest I came is {{ form.fields.password.fields.0 }} in my template, which gives me output like <app.fields.PassField object at 0x7fb619821ef0> , however this is clearly not a displayed form field.
Is there something simple and obvious that I am missing, or is that what I am trying to do is simply impossible in Django?
