Forms with read-only html text block

#1

@limedaring First off, just purchased book #2 and although I haven’t read the entirety yet, the Stripe integration helped save a lot of time, as well as from me pulling out the rest of my hair :) Thank you for including that.

As for my question, it doesn’t have anything to do with the books, but I can’t ask on StackOverflow as it will be flagged by the pre-madonna’s…

One of my clients wants to have his NDA form on the site to have filled out electronically in lieu of downloading a pdf file. What I am struggling with is structuring the form. The form has a top area where someone would fill their name, company etc… then a body area that has all the non-disclosure text and then the footer where the user would fill in other fields pertaining to the form. The body text area I can hard code it into the form, but my client wants to be able to modify the content from time to time.

My question is how would I go about creating a form that has all the fillable fields, but also inserts a text area that displays as a text block and not a pre-filled text area?

Thank you for your insight.

FYI it’s prima donna :D

That’s a good question regarding forms… how would your client modify the content? Through the Django admin? Or some way else?

http://stackoverflow.com/a/571334 – this question might help you, you can pass in additional stuff to the form this way.

Thank you, I got it all sorted. I need to remember that that Admin area isn’t really meant for the client to us in most cases. I built a simple dashboard for them and used some of the abstract modeling from your second book to write cleaner code. Thank you again.
