I am using django-registration for my project. in my registration_form.html
file:
{{form.username}}
{{form.email}}
//other fields
And I want to set placeholders for each field. But this is a kind of built-in app. so I need to find the way for editing these fields from my main app.
I don't want to change source of django-registration.
If you can override the built-in form, you can define the placeholder as follows:
class RegistrationForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = YourModelName
widgets = {
'username' : forms.TextInput(attrs = {'placeholder': 'Username'}),
'email' : forms.TextInput(attrs = {'placeholder': 'E-Mail'}),
}
Or else you can use jQuery to add placeholder to the fields by using the corresponding field's id
as given below:
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" >
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#id_username").attr('placeholder', '{{form.username.label}}');
$("#id_email").attr('placeholder', '{{form.email.label}}');
});
</script>
You can use firebug to find the id
of the field.
