Form that can be filled only once

[Giovanni Pederiva]

hi, i'm trying to make a website for an association, we need to have some people apply for a summer school. i'd like to create a form with all the data i need to collect from them, but i want also to allow each user to submit that form only once. is there a way to do this?  thanks in advance

Hey Giovanni, you definitely can.

I would require the users to log in, check if the currently logged in use has already submitted the form and if so display a message saying that they've already submitted the form and don't need to again.  Alternatively when a user submits the form you could check some unique piece of submitted data (maybe their name) and if a form submission has already been submitted matching that respond that they have already submitted the form.

Further to what Josh has said, since forms are a core part of Django, have a look through the excellent docs they have:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/forms/

The "if user has submitted, reject" bit is perfect for a form validator.

Good luck

thanks a lot for the advice
