Using multiple input fields for one model's attribute with django

Question

In models.py I have

class myModel:
    period = models.CharField(max_length = 100, blank=True)

the period should contain something like: DD:HH:MM:SS.

In the HTML template, I want this field to be in four different textbox input fields. Is there a way to do this in Django?

This is well documented: you need to create a subclass of forms.MultiValueField, which implements a compress method which returns the combined value of the fields. Note that there is already a SplitDateTimeField, but that just have two separate fields for each of the date and time.

Ok, i'm trying this. But when creating a subclass of forms.MultiValueFied, i got errors like : AttributeError: 'SplitPeriodField' object has no attribute 'render'. got inspired from this example stackoverflow.com/questions/8386101/…

I can't help without seeing your code or the traceback. But it sounds like you are using a field where you should be using a widget.

Thanks, it works. But I want the inputs of the split field to be horizontal? Any suggestions ?

@DanielRoseman But what if I want to do the opposite of this. like - stackoverflow.com/questions/57288620/… or stackoverflow.com/questions/57265650/…
