Changelog

1.2.0

• Subclasses of floppyforms.models.ModelForm did not convert widgets of form fields that were automatically created for the existing model fields into the floppyform variants. This is now changed, thanks to a patch by Stephen Burrows.

  Previously you had to set the widgets your self in a model form. For example you would write:

  import floppyforms as forms
  
  class ProfileForm(forms.ModelForm):
      class Meta:
          model = Profile
          widgets = {
              'name': forms.TextInput,
              'url': forms.URLInput,
              ...
          }

  Now this is done automatically. But since this is a kind-of backwardsincompatible change, you need to use a special import:

  import floppyforms.__future__ as forms
  
  class ProfileForm(forms.ModelForm):
      class Meta:
          model = Profile

  This feature will become the default behaviour in floppyforms 1.3.

  See the documentation for more information: http://django-floppyforms.readthedocs.org/en/latest/usage.html#modelforms

• If you added an attribute with value 1 to the attrs kwargs (e.g. {'value': 1}, you would get no attribute value in the rendered html (e.g. value instead of value="1"). That’s fixed now, thanks to Viktor Ershov for the report.

• All floppyform widget classes now take a template_name argument in the __init__ and render method. Thanks to Carl Meyer for the patch.
