Use value for a ChoiceField in a template

choicefield, django, templates

Solution

You could try

{{ radio.choice_value }}{# value of the choice of the current input #}
{{ radio.choice_label }}{# label of the choice of the current input #}
{{ radio.choice_index }}{# 0-based index #}

Only `choice_label` gets documented, but you could safely use it so far.

Problem

I have something like this: forms.py: ``` AVATAR_CHOICES = (('1','option1'), ('2','option2'), ('3','option3'), ('4','option4')) class RegistrationForm(forms.Form): avatar = ChoiceField(widget=RadioSelect, choices=AVATAR_CHOICES) ``` I'm passing `form` from my view: views.py ``` form = RegistrationForm() return render_to_response('registration/register.html', {'form': form}, context_instance=RequestContext(request)) ``` into a template like this: registration.html: ``` {% for radio in form.avatar %} <label class="radio">{{ radio.tag }}</label> {% endfor %} ``` but I'd like to include images in front of these option fields as a way to let the users choose an avatar. However, I don't know how to access keys or values from the tuple `AVATAR_CHOICES`. The main idea is to be able to do something like this: ``` {% for radio in form.avatar %} <label class="radio">{{ radio.tag }}</label> <img src="{{ STATIC_URL }}img/avatars/{{ radio.tag.value }}.jpg"/> {% endfor %} ``` How can I do this? Thanks in advance.
