I want to display name in front of field instead of

Question

..whatdoyoucallitanyway..

I have this model:

class Kaart(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200, name="Kaardi peakiri", help_text="Sisesta kaardi pealkiri (maksimum tähemärkide arv on 38)", blank=False, null=False)
    url = models.CharField(max_length=200, blank=False, null=False, name="Asukoha URL", help_text="Täisasukoht (http://www.domeen.ee/kaart/)")
    kirjeldus = models.TextField(max_length=500, name="Kommentaar", help_text="Informatsioon / viide tegijale (mitte kohustuslik)")

Then i have this form:

class KaartForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Kaart

And i have this code in my template:

{% for field in form %}
    <p>
    <label>{{ field.label }}</label>
    <em>{{ field.help_text }}</em>
    {{ field }}
    </p>
{% endfor %}

The problem is that both field.label and field.name display name, url, kirjeldus instead of the names i have set for them - "Kaardi pealkiri" etc. How do i get to use those instead?

Solution

You need to use verbose_name instead of name in your model.

name = models.CharField(max_length=200, verbose_name="Kaardi peakiri", help_text="Sisesta kaardi pealkiri (maksimum tähemärkide arv on 38)", blank=False, null=False)

See the docs. There is no option called name.
