Pinax is an open-source platform built on the Django Web Framework. It is an ecosystem of reusable Django apps, themes, and starter project templates. This collection can be found at http://pinaxproject.com.
django-forms-bootstrap
is a simple bootstrap filter for Django forms. Extracted from the
bootstrap theme for Pinax.
Include django-forms-bootstrap
in your requirements file and
django_forms_bootstrap
in your INSTALLED APPS
.
Make sure your template loader finders includes app directories.
To style forms, add the following to the top of your template
{% load bootstrap_tags %}
and include your form using something like the following markup:
<form> <legend>My Form</legend> {% csrf_token %} {{ form|as_bootstrap }} <div class="form-actions"> <a href="#back" class="btn">Go back</a> <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button> </div> </form>
Bootstrap includes styles for four types of forms. To change the display of your form, add one of the following class attributes to your form tag:
Name | Class | Description |
---|---|---|
Vertical (default) | .form-vertical | Stacked, left-aligned labels over controls |
Horizontal | .form-horizontal | Float left, right-aligned labels on same line as controls |
Inline | .form-inline | Left-aligned label and inline-block controls for compact style |
Search | .form-search | Extra-rounded text input for a typical search aesthetic |

In case of any questions we recommend you join our Pinax Slack team (http://slack.pinaxproject.com) and ping us there instead of creating an issue on GitHub. Creating issues on GitHub is of course also valid but we are usually able to help you faster if you ping us in Slack.
We also highly recommend reading our Open Source and Self-Care blog post (http://blog.pinaxproject.com/2016/01/19/open-source-and-self-care/).
