render to context with the extra argument

importing the class csrf_protect and used as decorator.

and looks like if you use the "render" function should be the easiest way since will take care of everything.

I also tried removing the tags from the html and I still get the error.

I am missing to put something?

2 extra questions. 

can I use my own forms with django done in a html file? or they have to be django forms?  (as I understand the django forms are premade so its easy to use them and render the windget? like a calendar widget)

now that I have the form and the submit how can I pass the info of the form to the next webpage,  example

so it say  thank you for voting + the email they typed in the form.

thanks guys =p

Does it say why?

Exactly. Does this work?

return render(request, "vote_form.html", {"all_restaurants": all_restaurants, "form": form})

Yes, you can do whatever you want :) The built in django forms are especially helpful for validating the data in the back end, but even if you do that, you can still hand-code the html.

  

now that I have the form and the submit how can I pass the info of the form to the next webpage,  example

so it say  thank you for voting + the email they typed in the form.

There are a few ways to do it that I can think of:

For simplicity, I usually do something like redirect them to: /thanks/?email={{ their email }}. Then I can use that info in the template.

You could also store their email address in request.SESSION.

You could use the messages framework. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/messages/

Ah....   nice trick, store the variables into the url and then pass the url with some regular expression.

=)

def vote(request):
    if request.method == "POST":
        form = polls.forms_DK.NameForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():

            your_email = form.cleaned_data["your_email"]
            ratio = str(form.cleaned_data["ratio"])
            adress = "thanks/"+your_email+"/"
            return HttpResponseRedirect(adress)

    else:
        form = polls.forms_DK.NameForm()
    django.setup()
    all_restaurants = Restaurant.objects.all()

    #return render_to_response("vote_form.html", {"all_restaurants": all_restaurants, "form": form})

    return render(request, "vote_form.html", {"all_restaurants": all_restaurants, "form": form})

ok now to learn how to catch that url

will something like this would work?

url(r'^thanks/(?P<your_email>w+)/$', views.thanks),

url(r'^thanks/(?P<your_email>w+)/$', views.thanks),

That should work in theory, although the "w" in the regular expression won't match the @ sign or the periods.

If you use the /thanks/?email=yo...@email.etc you can use this syntax in the urls:

    url(r'^thanks/$', views.thanks),

And this in the view:

def thanks(request):
    render(request, 'thanks.html', {'email': request.GET.get('email')})
