httml form to django

[dk]

i have a regular form in the template.   the user and the password since the web designer did it like that.

can I still use it in django view?

any particular way that's need to be use?  or we need to change it to use django forms?

Hi,

just make sure you match your input names with what Django expects. For example:

If the HTML is <input name="username"> your Form will need a "username" field.

And you need to put inside the form the csrf token .

<form action="." method="post">{% csrf_token %} ...

See: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/csrf/

I am not going to update any models for the database or anything I just need some info from the user that will be process by the view.

I could put that info in the url as a variable such /?=variable.

and then get it with

info = request.GET.get("info", "") 

but its little ugly since you display it on the url.

You don't need to alter any model, only need to create a form class (better) or using request.POST.get("username").

If you want to do in right way
See

thanks for the help,

at the end I did it with

putting it on the url as a url variable ?var=my_var

and in the view

request.POST.get("username").
