I have a form that inherits from 2 other forms. In my form, I want to change the label of a field that was defined in one of the parent forms. Does anyone know how this can be done?
I’m trying to do it in my __init__
, but it throws an error saying that “‘RegistrationFormTOS’ object has no attribute ’email'”. Does anyone know how I can do this?
Thanks.
Here is my form code:
from django import forms from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _ from registration.forms import RegistrationFormUniqueEmail from registration.forms import RegistrationFormTermsOfService attrs_dict = { 'class': 'required' } class RegistrationFormTOS(RegistrationFormUniqueEmail, RegistrationFormTermsOfService): """ Subclass of ``RegistrationForm`` which adds a required checkbox for agreeing to a site's Terms of Service. """ email2 = forms.EmailField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs=dict(attrs_dict, maxlength=75)), label=_(u'verify email address')) def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): self.email.label = "New Email Label" super(RegistrationFormTOS, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) def clean_email2(self): """ Verifiy that the values entered into the two email fields match. """ if 'email' in self.cleaned_data and 'email2' in self.cleaned_data: if self.cleaned_data['email'] != self.cleaned_data['email2']: raise forms.ValidationError(_(u'You must type the same email each time')) return self.cleaned_data

Answer
You should use:
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super(RegistrationFormTOS, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) self.fields['email'].label = "New Email Label"
Note first you should use the super call.
