I am trying to set up a contact form. I have implemented the Django-crispy-forms and now my form is not submitted (I don't have any errors).
I've added action="" to my form in my template without any success.
forms.py
class ContactForm(forms.Form):
name = forms.CharField(max_length=100, help_text='Enter your name or username')
email = forms.EmailField()
message = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea(attrs={'rows': 3, 'cols': 40}), help_text='Example: I forgot my password!')
views.py
def contact_us(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = ContactForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
sender_name = form.cleaned_data['name']
sender_email = form.cleaned_data['email']
message = "From {0}:\n\n{1}".format(sender_name, form.cleaned_data['message'])
send_mail('PLM_Tool contact', message, sender_email, ['[email protected]'])
return redirect('home:index')
else:
form = ContactForm()
return render(request, 'accounts/contact.html', {'form': form})
urls.py
app_name = 'accounts'
urlpatterns = [path('contact/', views.contact_us, name='contact'),]
contact.html
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% load crispy_forms_tags %}
{% block main %}
<form method="post" action="">
{% csrf_token %}
<div class="row">
<div class="col-6">
{{ form.name|as_crispy_field }}
</div>
<div class="col-6">
{{ form.email|as_crispy_field }}
</div>
<div class="col-6">
{{ form.message|as_crispy_field }}
</div>
</div>
</form>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Send</button>
<a href="{% url 'home:index' %}" class="btn btn-danger">Cancel</a>
<br><br>
{% endblock %}
Here is the problem, and do not give action to form crispy forms create the field not the button.
<form method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
<div class="row">
<div class="col-6">
{{ form.name|as_crispy_field }}
</div>
<div class="col-6">
{{ form.email|as_crispy_field }}
</div>
<div class="col-6">
{{ form.message|as_crispy_field }}
</div>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Send</button>
</form>
just add the button inside the form
