[Django]-Syntax for Disabling all form fields in Django

✅

Because it seems you are using django-crispy-forms, I would use the following:

class UserForm(forms.ModelForm):

    password = forms.CharField(label='Password', widget=forms.PasswordInput)
    password2 = forms.CharField(label='Repeat password', widget=forms.PasswordInput)

    def __init__(self,disable_fields=False, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        if disable_fields:
            self.fields['password'].disabled = True
            self.fields['password2'].disabled = True

    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ('username', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'email')

So when you are going to create the form, this should make it work:

@login_required
def profile(request):
    user_form = UserForm(instance=request.user, disable=True)
    return render(request, 'rentadevapp/profile.html', {'user_form': user_form})

Django 1.9 added the Field.disabled attribute: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/ref/forms/fields/#disabled

The disabled boolean argument, when set to True, disables a form field using the disabled HTML attribute so that it won’t be editable by users. Even if a user tampers with the field’s value submitted to the server, it will be ignored in favor of the value from the form’s initial data.

You can do this to disable the fields you want in your view:

@login_required
def profile(request):
    user_form = UserForm(instance=request.user)
    for fieldname in user_form.fields:
        user_form.fields[fieldname].disabled = True
    return render(request, 'rentadevapp/profile.html', {'user_form': user_form})
