problem with conditional form

Hi all,

I find myself struggling to make a shorter version of a form. I am a
newb so I apologize in advance for my ignorance. Our web master left
for greener pastures and since I'm the only one with any programming
experience, I have been forced to take over until we hire a
replacement. So…

I added a model to set the form-type to "0" or "1" which corresponds
to "Long form" and "Short form"

When I create a new long form and add the following to the form page
template I get the expected answer:

{{app.workshop.type.get_form_type_display}} results in "Long form"

I'm trying to use this syntax to write an if statement that shows or
hides an element based on the form_type. So when I'm in my forms.py
doc I include this:

if self.workshop.type.form_type == '0':
home_address = forms.CharField(
label="Home Street Address",
required=False,
)

Self returns the error "not defined". As does instance, this, etc.

the if statement works as such:

foo = '0'
if foo == '0':
home_address = forms.CharField(
label="Home Street Address",
required=False,
)

This code is in a sub class where I'm tying to obtain
"workshop.type.form_type" from the parent class and can't figure out
how to access it.

I have a sinking feeling that the answer is staring me in the face.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Len
