Bootstrap 4 custom checkboxes

• Package version: 1.6.2
• Django version: 1.11
• Python version: 3.6.2
• Template pack: bootstrap4

Description:

I am trying to use the bootstrap 4 custom checkboxes. I can’t find a clear way to do with the crispy templates. What I am doing now is using my custom template custom_bootstrap_checkbox.html:

<label class="custom-control custom-checkbox mt-1">
  <input name="{{ field.name|safe }}" id="{{ field.auto_id|safe }}" type="checkbox" class="custom-control-input">
  <span class="custom-control-indicator"></span>
  <span class="custom-control-description text-muted">{{ field.label|safe }}</span>
</label>

And then, in the helper Layout, adding the field as:

Field('field_name', template="pieces/custom_bootstrap_checkbox.html")

Those custom checkboxes are already implemented? Do you think this custom checkbox must be a default if using bootstrap4 ?? The html seems to be hard to fit into template/bootstrap4/field.html

Yeah, I had to fiddle a bunch lately to get a pretty file browser too.

And +1 to tidying up field.html, it’s really scary and complicated.

Maybe we should have a bigger issue to better support some of those elements that aren’t supported DCF elements at the moment?

I don’t really see this as an Issue, since the user land solution is easy enough. Happy to see it closed if we’re not going to do anything about it.
