Display some free text in between Django Form fields

Question

I have a form like the following:

class MyForm(Form):

  #personal data
  firstname = CharField()
  lastname = CharField()

  #education data
  university = Char

One way to do this without displaying your form in the template using form.as_ul, is with django-uni-form. First you'll have to download it here and install it. Then the code for setting up your form could looks something like this:

from uni_form.helpers import FormHelper, Submit, Layout, Fieldset

class MyForm(Form):

    #personal data
    firstname = CharField()
    lastname = CharField()

    #education data
    university = CharField()
    major = CharField()

    #foobar data
    foobar = ChoiceField()

    # now attach a uni_form helper to display the form
    helper = FormHelper()

    # create the layout
    layout = Layout(
         # first fieldset
         Fieldset("Here you enter your personal data...",
             'firstname', 'lastname'),
         Fieldset("Here you enter your education data...",
             'university', 'major'),
         Fieldset('foobar')

    # and add a submit button
    sumbit = Submit('add', 'Submit information')
    helper.add_input(submit)

Now, to display this in your template you would do this:

{% load uni_form %}
{% with form.helper as helper %}
    {% uni_form form helper %}
{% endwith %}

This would output HTML (roughly) like this:

Here you enter your personal data...




Here you enter your education data...

For more info on uni_form, read their docs (see the link above).
