Django: Including a form inside a listview - django

Question

I am trying to insert a newsletter signup form into my base.html template which is a listview that displays upcoming events and featured shops and everytime I submit the form it returns a 'HTTP error 405'
Any help with this would be appreciated
Views.py
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.views.generic import ListView, TemplateView
from events.models import Event
from newsletter.forms import NewsletterSignUpForm
from shops.models import Shop
class HomeListView(ListView):
template_name = 'core/index.html'
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(HomeListView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
context.update({
'events': Event.get_upcoming_events()[:1], # returns only the first event in the list
'shops': Shop.objects.all(),
})
context['newsletter_form'] = NewsletterSignUpForm()
return context
def get_queryset(self):
return None
forms.py
from django.forms import ModelForm
from .models import Newsletter
class NewsletterSignUpForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Newsletter
fields = ['email']
Models.py
from django.db import models
class Newsletter(models.Model):
email = models.EmailField(unique=True)
date_subscribed = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=False, auto_now_add=True)
def __str__(self):
return f'{self.email}'
base.html
<form method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ newsletter_form|crispy }}
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit">Sign Up!</button>
</form>

Answer 1

first add action url in form to handle post data
<form method="post" action="{% url 'submit_url' %}">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ newsletter_form|crispy }}
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit">Sign Up!</button>
</form>
urls.py
add url
path('your_url',views.formSubmit,name='submit_url')
views.py
def formSubmit(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = NewsletterSignUpForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return redirect('your_list_view_url')
or you can use FormMixin along with classbased views
