Hi, trying to create a basic contact page with django has been horrendous.
what took me 30 minutes to do in flask takes me 3 hours to do in django
and still doesnt work.
Why cant I add my own fields to a contact form? Why would a contact form
ever NOT have a name field? At the very least a contact page should have
forms for :
Name, Email, Subject, Message.
I cannot send an email with a name variable, which blows my mind. WTForms
beats django forms any day, because its actually flexible. Now I have to
waste more time figuring out how to file a suggestion for django and fill
this out. WOW...........pardon my frustration
