i have the following, but why does this not hide the label for book comment? I get the error 'textfield' is not defined:
from django.db import models
from django.forms import ModelForm, Textarea
class Booklog(models.Model):
Author = models.ForeignKey(Author)
Book_comment = models.TextField()
Bookcomment_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
class BooklogForm(ModelForm):
#book_comment = TextField(label='')
class Meta:
model = Booklog
exclude = ('Author')
widgets = {'book_entry': Textarea(attrs={'cols': 45, 'rows': 5}, label={''}),}
To expand on my comment above, there isn't a TextField for forms. That's what your TextField error is telling you. There's no point worrying about the label until you have a valid form field.
The solution is to use forms.CharField instead, with a Textarea widget. You could use the model form widgets option, but it's simpler to set the widget when defining the field.
Once you have a valid field, you already know how to set a blank label: just use the label='' in your field definition.
# I prefer to importing django.forms
# but import the fields etc individually
# if you prefer
from django import forms
class BooklogForm(forms.ModelForm):
book_comment = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea, label='')
class Meta:
model = Booklog
exclude = ('Author',)
