I want to use django.contrib.comments in a blogging application and customize the way the form is displayed. My problem is that I can't get the fields to display although displaying the hidden fields works just fine. I had a look at the docs and compared it with the regular way of displaying forms but honestly I don't know why the following doesn't work out:
{% get_comment_form for comments_object as form %}
<form action="{% comment_form_target %}" method="POST">
[…]
{% for hidden in form.hidden_fields %}
{{ hidden }}
{% endfor %}
{% for field in form.fields %}
{{field}}
{% endfor %}
[…]
</form>
The output looks like this:
<form action="/comments/post/" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="content_type" value="flatpages.flatpage" id="id_content_type" />
<input type="hidden" name="object_pk" value="1" id="id_object_pk" />
<input type="hidden" name="timestamp" value="1269522506" id="id_timestamp" />
<input type="hidden" name="security_hash" value="ec4…0fd" id="id_security_hash" />
content_type
object_pk
timestamp
security_hash
name
email
url
comment
honeypot
[…]
</form>
</div>
Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance
use {% for field in form.visible_fields %}
form.fields is a dictionary where the keys are the names of the fields, and the values are the actual form.Field() objects.
You can also do {% for field in form %} which should include both hidden and visible fields.

I have a template as below (the second column of the table is wrong, which is my question):
{% for thing in things %}
<tr><td>See the lovely {{ thing.name }}!</td>
<td><form method="POST" action="">
{% csrf %}
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="{{ thing.id }}">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Kill me!">
</form></td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
And I'm a bit stumped how to make an array of forms like this. Of course, the above form works great modulo the csrf, so maybe all I need to do is figure out how to make the csrf work in that context and then I think I can just look at request.POST.get('id') (I think...).
Many thanks for any pointers.
I think the error is csrf. Use
{% csrf_token %}
I've installed Userena, and I am trying to figure out how to integrate the existing userena form with my own custom HTML form template, I have pasted part of the code for the userena form template, and I do not see ANY css or html, so I'm very confused about how I would integrate this with my own template consisting of HTML, CSS. I figured with Django I'd be able to take any old HTML form and just plugin Django's variables to get it working.
So my question is how can I integrate the top example (userenas form template) into the bottom example (generic HTML example). An example might be helpful.
{% block content %}
<form action="" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
<fieldset>
<legend>{% trans "Signup" %}</legend>
{{ form.non_field_errors }}
{% for field in form %}
{{ field.errors }}
{% comment %} Displaying checkboxes differently {% endcomment %}
{% if field.name == 'tos' %}
<form action="/register/" method="post" role="form">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control input-lg" id="nameinput" placeholder="Name" name="contact-name">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="email" class="form-control input-lg" id="emailinput" placeholder="Email" name="contact-email">
</div>
I am trying to pass some data between pages, but it's not working. Any tips? I click submit and it takes me to a blank page. If I refresh then it shows my base template styles, but no data is passed.
index.html
{% extends "polls/base.html" %}
{% block title %}Vote{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
<h1>Welcome</h1>
<form action="/polls/" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
<p><label for="pin">Enter group pin:</label>
<input id="pin" type="text" name="pin" maxlength="4" />
<input type="submit" value="View Polls" /></p>
</form>
Moderator login
</p>
{% endblock %}
polls/index.html
{% extends "polls/base.html" %}
{% block title %}Recent Polls{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
{{ pin }}
{% endblock %}
polls/urls.py
url(r'^$',
ListView.as_view(
model=Poll,
template_name='polls/index.html')),
You need to write a view to handle the form submision. The view that works, is listing all your Polls. I recommend you to read the tutorial:
Basic views: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/intro/tutorial03/
Form submission: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/intro/tutorial04/
Basically, your form will send the data to another URL that will handle the processing of your data.
You must specify it in the action attribute:
<form action="/polls/create-poll" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
<input type='text' name='poll-name' />
<input type='submit' />
</form>
and in your views:
def create_poll(request):
poll_name = request.POST.get('poll-name')
poll = Poll.objects.create(name=poll_name)
return HttpResponse("Poll created")
I don't want to sound rude. But you should start with some HTTP and HTML tutorial. A good web programmer is the one that knows the basic stuff in detail. HTTP is a great protocol, try to learn it all the way through.
I have this form in my template:
<form method="POST" class="form" action="/groups/">
{% csrf_token %}
{% block hidden_debtors %}
{% for name, email in debtor_info.items %}
<input type="hidden" name="hidden-debtor" value="{{email}}">
{% endfor %}
{% endblock %}
<input type="text" name="new-debtor" id="round-input" placeholder="Select Debtor(s)"></input>
<button type="submit" name="add-debtor" class="btn btn-primary">Add Debtor</button>
</form>
As you can see the hidden type inputs all share the name "hidden-debtor" however they each have distinct email values. I was wondering how I would be able to access each one of these distinct values in my views.py through a loop or something
Thanks!
You can get a list of values in your view like this:
request.POST.getlist('hidden-debtor')

I am trying to customize Django's comments form. Inside django.contrib.comments.forms I noticed that all the field forms are declared in the class CommentDetailForm, which is inherited from CommentSecurityForm. Then I think when I write the template tag {% get_comment_form for order as form %}, it's getting the class called CommentForm which inherits CommentDetailForm with a honeypot field.
I wanted to customize the comments form so that it only displays the comments field (and not the optional name, email, or URL fields). Those information will be given by the current logged in user. In fact, only logged in users with certain UserProfile.user_type (UserProfile has a foreign key to User) are allow to comment.
Any tips on how to achieve this? Looking at the source code of the Django's comments already scares me lol.
EDIT:
Here is how the comment template looks so far:
{% get_comment_form for order as form %}
<form action = "{% comment_form_target %}" method = "post">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form }}
<input type = "submit" name = "submit" value = "Post">
</form>
And the site looks like this
I want to hide Name, Email address, and URL.
You should be able to do all of this in the template:
{% ifequal User.profile.user_type "comment_type" %}
{% get_comment_form for order as form %}
<form action="{% comment_form_target %}" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
{% for field in form %}
{% ifequal field.name "name" %}
<input id="id_name" type="hidden" name="name" value="{{ user.username }}" />
{% else %}{% ifequal field.name "email" %}
<input type="hidden" name="email" value="{{ user.email }}" id="id_email" />
{% else %}{{ field }}{% endifequal %}{% endifequal %}
{% endfor %}
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Post">
</form>
{% endifequal %}
