I need to include two different contact forms in my app. One a general
contact form and another Report / Feedback form that pre-fills some data
depending on which site it was called from.
So I hit google, found django-contact-form, installed it and after creating
some basic templates (and rest of the configuration) I was able to make use
of /contact/ to present a basic form which takes in Name, Email and
Message. Works fine.
Now I need that Report Form. The idea is to have a 'Report' Button on the
Website which maps to /report/$Parameter (or maybe it will just put the
parameter into request, not sure yet how to do this).
However I have troubles getting my Custom Form to work. I tried to create a
new view that uses my custom form which just inherits from ContactForm:
forms.py:
class ReportForm(ContactForm):
additional = forms.CharField(max_length=100, label='additional field
test')
subject_template_name = "contact_form/report_form_subject.txt"
template_name = 'contact_form/report_form.txt'
views.py:
def report(request):
reportForm = ReportForm
return render(request, 'play/report.html', {'form': reportForm})
template report.html:
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% block body_block %}
<h2>Report Form</h2>
<p>To send us a message fill out the below form.</p>
<form method="post">{% csrf_token %}
<p>Name: <input type="text" name="name"></p>
<p>Your e-mail: <input type="text" name="email"></p>
<p>additional field test: <input type="text" name="additional"</p>
<p>Message: <textarea name="body" rows="10" cols="50"></textarea></p>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
{% endblock %}
However it's not working at all. I can see the form displayed thanks to the
HTML Template, but nothing is happening when I press Submit. There is no
example on the website on how to subclass it :(

Or should I just copy and paste the whole code from here and adapt it to
include additional fields:
