How do I layout this Django-made & Jinja2-included sign up form?

Here is a screenshot:

As you can see the result doesn’t look right. What I did is this:

sign_up_form.html:

<h2>Sign up</h2>
<form method="post">
  {% csrf_token %}
  {{ form.as_p }}
  <button type="submit">Sign up</button>
</form>

This included into sign_up.html via a Jinja2-style include (for Django-ran website):

{% load static %}

Things I will try:

  • Expanding full form into sign_up.html template (i.e. not simply Jinja2-included)
  • Putting the form into a BSS Modal box.

What else might I try?

Okay, I’ve put the include inside of a Modal, and triggered the Modal with a sign up button. The result is this:

That looks good, except why isn’t the final submit button styled properly?

3

Okay, I’ve finally figured it out. You have to add either “btn btn-primary” to your Django template code, or create the type=“submit” button in BSS itself, as well as the title / X (close) that come with the Modal.

Here is the result:

I guess I should also check and make sure that Django’s form mechanism outputs bootstrap input elements.

4

The final result using django-bootstrap5 plugin for Django. Found here:

And this form code:

{% load django_bootstrap5 %}

<form method="post" class="form">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {% bootstrap_form form %}
</form>

And the final BSS template looks like this:
