Class based views with forms

[alex smolyakov]

Can anyone explain me how to make send email form on page.

So my forms.py

class ContactForm(forms.Form): 

    name = forms.CharField(required=True)

    last_name = forms.CharField()

    adults = forms.IntegerField() children = forms.IntegerField() 

    email = forms.EmailField(required=True)

    message = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea)

views.py

class TourDetailView(DetailView):

    model = models.Tour 

    template_name = 'tours/tour-detail.html' 

    form_class = forms.ContactForm

    success_url = 'tours.html'

As far as i understand i need to get data from request , but i dont know how to do it. There are a lot of information in function based views, but i didnt get how to do it in class based views.

And it would be nice of you to explain where should i put send_mail function. Any help will be appreciated.

You're right, it's not very clear how to have a single class-based view
handle both displaying details and submitting a form.  This is a
fantastic site that shows how each class based view is set up
inheritance-wise: https://ccbv.co.uk/

Take a look the ancestors for DetailView:
https://ccbv.co.uk/projects/Django/4.0/django.views.generic.detail/DetailView/

... and the ancestors for FormView:
https://ccbv.co.uk/projects/Django/4.0/django.views.generic.edit/FormView/


Maybe you can just add the FormMixin as an ancestor to your DetailView.


As another option, maybe you can create a separate FormView that you can
POST to from your DetailView.
