[Fixed]-How to have a link in label of a form field

Import django’s mark_safe from utils.safestring as explained at http://www.kelvinism.com/howtos/using-html-django-form-label/

From the link:

from django.utils.safestring import mark_safe
from django import forms

class AccountForm(forms.Form):
    name = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(), 
                           max_length=15, 
                           label=mark_safe('Your Name (<a href="/questions/whyname/" target="_blank">why</a>?)'))

Here is the correct link to the Django documentation on the subject of iteration over the form.

What you want is:

<form method="post">
{% for field in form %}
    <p>
        {{ field.errors }}
        {{ field.label_tag }}: {{ field }}
        {% if field.name == "toc" %}
          <a href="{% url terms %}">Terms and Conditions</a>
        {% endif %}
    </p>
{% endfor %}
<p><input type="submit" value="Send message" /></p>
</form>

If do not wish to hardcode the URL, you could set the field’s label from the constructor:

from django import forms
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse_lazy
from django.utils.safestring import mark_safe
from django.utils.translation import ugettext as _


class ExampleForm(forms.Form):
    name = forms.CharField(max_length='255', label=_('Name'))
    forms.BooleanField(label=_("Terms and Conditions"), required=False)

    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        super(ExampleForm, self).__init__(**kwargs)
        terms_and_conditions = reverse_lazy("terms_and_conditions")
        self.fields['read_terms'].label = mark_safe(_("I have read and agree with the "
                                                      "<a href='%s'>Terms and Conditions</a>")) % (terms_and_conditions)

Let me guess – you’re using django_registration – I see I’m not the only person who had this problem:)

As scunliffe said markup is best left out of the label tag – here is a short template snippet to do what you want without resorting to writing the whole thing out in HTML:

{% for field in form %}
    {{ field.label_tag }}
    {% ifequal field.name 'tos' %}
        <a href="/terms/">I have read and agreed to the Terms of Service</a>
    {% endif %}
{% endif %}

I also think that to hardcode link in label isn’t a good variant. so it’ll be better to use render_to_string from django.template.loader. Also we need to think about laziness like for i18n. keep_lazy_text and lazystr fits our requirements for it. So the result it:

forms.py

from django.utils.functional import keep_lazy_text, lazystr
from django.template.loader import render_to_string
from allauth.account.forms import SignupForm

lazy_render_to_string = keep_lazy_text(render_to_string)


def lazy_render(template_name):
    """
    Keep laziness for rendering to string from template
    """
    return lazy_render_to_string(lazystr(template_name))


class ExtendedSignupForm(SignupForm):

    accept_term_of_use = forms.BooleanField(
        label=lazy_render('common/accept_term_of_use_label.html'),
        required=True
    )

    field_order = [
        'email',
        'password1',
        'password2',
        'accept_term_of_use'
    ]

common/accept_term_of_use_label.html

Accept <a href="{% url "term_of_use" %}" target="_blank">Term Of Use</a> and <a href="privacy_statement" target="_blank">Privacy Statement</a>.

I know that this question is old but I have found a solution

forms.py

from django.urls import reverse
from django.utils.functional import lazy

privacy = forms.BooleanField(label = lazy(lambda: _("Privacy <a href='%s' a>policy</a>" % reverse('privacy'))))
