Add rich text format functionality to django TextField
I have a django model which contains a description field:
class Product(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length="125")
description = models.TextField()
class ProductForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Product
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(ProductForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['description'].widget.attrs = { 'placeholder':'Description', 'rows':'10'}
I am rendering it as below
<html>
<body>
{{form.name}}
{{form.description | linebreaks}}
</body>
</html>
So with the above filter linebreaks I am able to get the data as line formatting, but now I want to give a url(www.google.co.in) in the description field, and it should be a clickable on the front end in the product detail page
How to add the rich text formatting to django description field on front end?
Answer
Another way could be adding some html in the description field
<a href="yourlink.com">your link</a>
and make it accessible on the front-end with the safe tag:
{{form.description | safe | linebreaks}}
Be sure of placing the safe tag first, otherwise won't work
