Custom Widget - display in a List View

Using Django Templates & Frontend
1

I have a custom field (lng_lat) on my model and a custom widget such that when this field is displayed within a form that field is rendered as a clickable GoogleMap (using the Googlemap API).
This custom widget works beautifully.

I have a need to display the lng_lat field in a ListVview - how do i get Django to use the same widget to display the lng_lat field in a simple view.

The readonly page uses the ListView and the correct model.

You would need to render the html used by that widget within the template for your ListView. You probably can’t use the same widget because you’re rendering two different objects. (In the form, you’re rendering a form field, but in the list view you’re rendering a data element.)

I believe that form widgets are not really made to be used outside of a form. But you can use the same template with some tweaks.
