Using django-floppyforms with django-sekizai

README.rst

This is a bridge between django-floppyforms and django-sekizai.

This lets you define custom floppyforms widgets and move the css / js parts to the top or the bottom of the page.

Just write a floppyforms widget with a custom template. In that template, use {% addtoblock "js" %} to inject some data in a sekizai block. In the template that renders your form, make sure you use iterate over your fields and use {% widget field %} to render instead of {{ field }}.

Note that to render your widget separately in the console, you'll need to add enable_sekizai in one of your app's templatetags and do {% load enable_sekizai %}{% enable_sekizai %}. Note that anything inside the {% addtoblock %} tags will disappear but your widgets can be rendered in the console.

Not sure this plays well with hidden widgets. Use at your own risk.

enable_sekizai.py

"""This template tag loads the SekizaiContext if it's not present.
Useful for rendering widgets in the console when there's not request"""
