I am just using...
model...
class Contact(models.Model):
Name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
email = models.CharField(max_length=100)
comments = models.TextField(blank=False)
form...
class ContactForm(ModelForm):
Name = forms.CharField(label='Name')
email = forms.EmailField(label='Email')
comments = forms.CharField(label='Comments',widget=forms.Textarea)
class Meta:
model = Contact
views...
f = ContactForm()
f = request.POST
if f.is_valid():
f.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/home/')
else:
ctx = {}
ctx['errors'] = f.errors
return render_to_response('contact.html',ctx)
when it doesn't save because validation failed, it renders
contact.html again, but blank. All previous data lost.
