Re: Using <select> input for an IntegerField

There should be a <select> widget to use in the 'widgets' dict. I was able to override the default of number field with a text field with the lines that are commented out.

I have a model with an IntegerField and I would like to display the model form for it with a <select> input.

With the following code I get an error :

'ChoiceField' object has no attribute 'is_hidden'

Here is a minimal django 1.6.1 project with the problem. https://github.com/Siecje/choice_widget/

class Education(models.Model):      school = models.CharField(max_length=255)      start_year = models.IntegerField()      end_year = models.IntegerField()      degree = models.CharField(max_length=255, null=True, blank=True)        def __unicode__(self):          display_txt = '%s, (%s - %s)' % (self.school, self.start_year, self.end_year)          return display_txt      class EducationForm(forms.ModelForm):        class Meta:          model = Education          fields = ['school', 'start_year', 'end_year', 'degree']          widgets = {              #'start_year': forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder': '2005'}),              #'end_year': forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder': '2009'}),              'start_year': forms.ChoiceField(choices=YEAR_CHOICES),              'end_year': forms.ChoiceField(choices=YEAR_CHOICES),          }

That's not what the `widgets` dict is for. ChoiceField is a field, not a widget, hence the name. If you want to override the field, do it at class level:

class EducationForm(forms.ModelForm):

    start_year = forms.ChoiceField(choices=YEAR_CHOICES)

    end_year = forms.ChoiceField(choices=YEAR_CHOICES)

    class Meta:

        model = Education

        fields = ['school', 'start_year', 'end_year', 'degree']
