Hello Is there any way to accept a input from footer? I have a footer which is for Newsletter signup. Users insert their mail there. How could I accept that data? Do I need to send form via views every time. or there is a way to accept form from that included template code?
Well I also have a feedback form in the footer which in included in all the pages I want the feedback to be stored in my DB. I cannot figure out how I can accept the form data from all pages. (Sending forms in all page through views is possible But I think there is A easy (good Looking) idea) and also There are more them one Post method. I really don't know how to Explain. But I expect you can understand me.
I breakdown the your multiform/newsletter signup in steps as below:
Define view the post view
Add route to the url.py
In your html template add action in form tag example for
Validate input in your defined view
Save it.
That's it.

I am currently working on a Django project and wanted to create a form that includes the invitation link as the initial URL and a field for the maximum usage of that link. However, when I decide that I want to publish this link, the form is cleared, so the user is not able to publish the link afterwards. Any ideas on how to prevent this or is there another way to solve this problem.
form in forms.py
view in views.py
functions in functions.py
I'm working on a django app that has a database with various posts. These posts have names and ids. The ids are in sub urls like sitename.com/1. On every page of the django app, I have a navbar which was extended from base.html. The navbar has a search bar which is really a form submission.
When I want to execute a search, I can take in the search data and use filters on it with the given database. However, the views.py has a function for each sub url. With each sub url that has a form on it, the function on views.py is handling the post request for the form.
How am I going to handle the requests from the search bar form? Do I have to make a function that handles it and then copy paste a call for that function at the beginning of the functions for every other page I want to make? Is there an easier way to do this? I've heard of using # but I don't know if that is the right use for this sort of problem.
I am trying to build a conversational form with Django.
It will be used in landing page. The form questions will be loaded one by one as user answers them. And there will be some greeting and "human-way" responses to user input (such as "wow! you did a good choice!" after user selects one of the choices from form). The experience and look of the app will be like a real-time chat but user can only select one of the choices from form or upload a file/image.
1. Which technology is better to use for it? I am planning to do it with Fetch.
2. Since I want it to work without page reloading, how do I need to load Django forms through Fetch? Do I need to pass elements of it with JSON and construct it in client-side or can I just pass it as an html with {{form.as_p}} and display it in HTML?
Does these options make difference in matter of security?
I do not know anything about Fetch, but anyway I think it must be constructed clientside, but at first I would simply display the form in a template to get the ids of its fields and then use it in clientside code.
What about security - you'll need to pass the csrf token via your form.
I want to write a generic django test that tests views by simply requesting an arbitrary edit URL, taking all the data in the forms in the response context and then POST-ing that to the same URL without changes.
Does django provide a simple way to get all this form data from a response object, i.e. in a way for any response object? One problem is not knowing where the forms are in the response.context.
EDIT: to clarify :- If the response html only has one form, then retrieve all the data in that form that would be sent if the user simply hit the submit button, and POST that to the same URL.
Having slept on it, using BeautifulSoup to parse the response content, look for a form and extract the data there would be an easy solution, and closer to what the user is actually going to see than looking through the response.context (e.g. a template doesn't have to render a form, so the user might not actually see it). The only downside is it will be a bit slow, I have hundreds of such tests to run.
Any better ideas?
You can use django-webtest but internally it is the same as your solution with BeautifulSoup.
I have been doing CRUD operation in Django but I am having problem with what to do after successful operation.
Is there any way that i can redirect the user to Home page with small message on top of page like
"Record Successfully added or something else" like Google does with Dismiss hyperlink :)
EDIT:
Actually that a is full documentation and not a simple example.
I could not understand in which template I have to include {{messages}} in. In update form, edit form or home page form?
I don't understand where I need to define messages. I use only generic views so I am confused.
Use the django.contrib.messages framework to get the same messaging style as used in Django admin.
Enable the middleware module by adding 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware' to MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES in settings.py.
In your view, use something like messages.add_message(request, messages.INFO, 'Stuff happened') to record information where it makes sense.
In your template, you'll have a list messages which you can iterate over where it makes sense in your design - the example in the documentation shows a full example which exposes the tags as CSS classes for ease of styling.
