I believe you are mixing methods.
Django has built in generic views and generic forms for example.
But, you have used a template with standard (html) from syntax.
Since you are doing a post, request.
In your view just assign a variable to each variable in the form that
you are pulling back and then you can use those variables for the 2
functions that you wanted to achieve.
1. use the variables to insert a row into a database table
for example
names=request.names
etc
sql to insert into table
2. create a dcitionary to respond to the users request in the
[('names':names, )]
render_to_response('mainpage.html', dictionary values)
def welcome(request):
#Allow new user reg and login, if failed direct the user to
signup
if request.method=='POST':
form=models.Register()
new_user=form.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/logpage/')
else:
form=models.Register()
return render_to_response('mainpage.html',
{'form':models.Register})
