I am trying to set a readonly attribute to this specific field in django. What I hope to accomplish is the field's data shows but it cant be changed. How do I go about this? Below is what I've tried and isn't working for me.

class editcartform(ModelForm):

  class Meta:
     model = signedup
     exclude = ['sessionid', 'price', 'paid', 'orderid', 'dancer_1_level', 'dancer_2_level', 'dancer_2_sex', 'dancer_1_sex']
     widgets = { 
        'comp_name':Textarea(attrs={'readonly'}),
    }

'comp_name':Textarea(attrs={'readonly':'readonly'}),

or 

'comp_name':Textarea(attrs={'disabled':'disabled'}),

It may change depends on what you want.

  • When I add that I get a number (it is a foreign field) do you know how i can force it to show the item it points to in readable terms instead of just a number? – user3806832 Jul 25 '14 at 07:10
