I've created a form in Django:
and imported in in views.py
As you may notice, I've called form by {{ form }} inside <form> tag in card.html but the issue is that it just shows a Submit botton and ignores {{ form }}. Any idea how to solve the issue?
I also bring urls.py in cards app and main urls:
#urls.py in main directory
I looked for a solution for three days and still I have no idea how to solve this issue. I will be so appreciated if someone give me a clear clue how to solve. Thanks
#forms.py
from django import forms
class ContactForm(forms.Form):
name = forms.CharField()
number = forms.FloatField()
eail_user = forms.EmailField()
and imported in in views.py
#views.py
from django.shortcuts import render
from .models import Cards
from cards.forms import ContactForm
def index(request):
cards = Cards.objects.all()
return render(request,'card.html', {'cards':cards})
def contact(request):
form = ContactForm()
return render(request,'card.html', {'form': form})This is my base.html
#base.html
{% load staticfiles %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<link href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" id="bootstrap-css">

Interesting problem. It won't display because the form is inside a for-loop. Django Template language looks at variables inside a for-loop differently. Basically it looks for a collection. Since {{ form }} is not a collection, it just ignores it.
I'm not sure how you can create multiple forms like that. But I would be interested in knowing.

Update.
You can do this by hard coding the HTML form in the template. If you want to gather the data a user enters, each form will have to be uniquely identifiable and your view will have to determine which form its getting post data from. You can put the card index number in the button value and code your view to handle it based on the button value.

I couldn't find a description field in the creation of your ContactForm. Maybe it's an oversight from me. However, if it isn't, I'm not expecting to see a {{card.description}} in your cards.html page.
