Hi, trying to create a basic contact page with django has been horrendous.
what took me 30 minutes to do in flask takes me 3 hours to do in django
and still doesnt work.
Why cant I add my own fields to a contact form? At the very least a
contact page should have forms for :
Name, Email, Subject, Message.
I cannot send an email with a name variable, which blows my mind. WTForms
beats django forms any day, because its actually flexible. Now I have to
waste more time figuring out how to file a suggestion for django and fill
this out. WOW...........pardon my frustration
class ContactForm(forms.Form):
name = forms.CharField(required=True, max_length=30)
from_email = forms.EmailField(required=True)
subject = forms.CharField(required=True, max_length=50)
message = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea, required=True,
max_length=800)
def contact(request):
if request.method == 'GET':
form = ContactForm()
else:
form = ContactForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
name = form.cleaned_data['name']
subject = form.cleaned_data['subject']
from_email = form.cleaned_data['from_email']
message = form.cleaned_data['message']
try:
recipients = ['skyl...@gmail.com']
send_mail(name, subject, message, from_email, recipients)
except BadHeaderError:
return HttpResponse('Invalid header found.')
return redirect('index')
return render(request, "home/contact.html", {'form': form})

Why cant I add my own fields to a contact form? Why would a contact form
ever NOT have a name field? At the very least a contact page should have
forms for :
Name, Email, Subject, Message.

Why cant I add my own fields to a contact form? Why would a contact form
ever NOT have a name field? Makes 0 sense to me...
Name, Email, Subject, Message.

Comment:
I understand that you're frustrated and I'm sorry Django doesn't work well
for you. Perhaps you should stick with Flask or WTForms.
I also failed to spot a question in what you wrote. If you think there's a
bug, please clarify where you think Django is at fault and why.
You say `Why cant I add my own fields to a contact form?` but you proceed
to show a contact form with your own fields.
