Re: Forms for updating a compound model

I'm sorry to tell you that ModelForms don't seem to have this functionality, but I'm happy to tell you that ModelAdmins do.

What it does, basically, is to return this:

{
     'label': label_for_field(field, self.opts.model, self.opts),
     'widget': {
       'is_hidden': False
     },
     'required': False
}

when there's a field marked as readonly, so it can transparently be used from the templates.

I recommend you go look at the code in django.contrib.admin.helpers.InlineAdminFormSet to get a feel of what you can do.

Annd... looking around, I found a ReadonlyWidget, look at the first answer here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2931884/odd-behavior-in-django-form-readonly-field-widget
