Select other kind of widget

[koalalorenzo]

Is there any way to render a field with a different widget type?
I need to render a select input into a text input.

In the django Form class, for specific reason, I can't set widget=forms.TextInput, but I should be able to do it in a smart way like that:

{% render_field form.start_date class+="form-control" type="text" %}

But what I got is a HTML tag instead.

That's interesting. It seems it is possible to implement, but it is not implemented now. Check https://github.com/kmike/django-widget-tweaks/blob/master/widget_tweaks/templatetags/widget_tweaks.py#L14 - to inplement it one need to return different widget class in inner as_widget function. I'm open to pull requests for such feature.
