django - How to display choicefield select widget on template?

Question

This is my view:

CHOICES = (('10','10'), ('20','20'),('30','30'), ('50','50'))

class Droplist (forms.Form):
    number = forms.ChoiceField(choices = CHOICES)    

    def page_objects(request):
        if request.method == 'POST': # If the form has been submitted...
            form = Droplist(request.POST) # A form bound to the POST data
            if form.is_valid(): # All validation rules pass
                pass #pages = form.cleaned_data['value']
                #return AutoPaginateNode(paginate_by=pages) # Redirect after POST
        else:
            form = Droplist() # An unbound form

        return render_to_response('pagination.html', {'form': form })

This is my template:

<form action="/submit/" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
   {{ form }}
   <input type="submit" value="Select">
</form>

how can i render my form, because i need to have a dropdown box with choices on template? what i've missed?

Answer 1

You need to use {{ form.as_p }}:

<form action="/submit/" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
   {{ form.as_p }}
   <input type="submit" value="Select">
</form>

You can also use {{ form.as_table }} to output table rows but you'll need to provide your own <table> and form.as_ul to output list items:

<form action="/submit/" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
   <table>
       {{ form.as_table }}
   </table>
   <input type="submit" value="Select">
</form>
