I have a simple note taking part of my application I'm trying to converge
into one template. Currently, I have one template and view that renders and
posts the form and another that displays the results. I'd like to
amalgamate these into one where the form exists and the results are
displayed on the same page.
This seems to be something that be achieved with template inheritance, but
I'm not sure how to alter the views so that both of these results can
appear in the same template. I've looked around for answers but can't seem
to find what I need to achieve this. Any help that could also inform me on
how to properly achieve this moving forward would be appreciated. This is
one of those areas I've been anticipating learning but it's been more
difficult that I assumed. The essential code is posted below:
Views for submitting and displaying notes:
@login_required
def submit_note(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
notes_form = NotesForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if notes_form.is_valid():
new_note = notes_form.save(commit=False)
new_note.author = request.user
new_note.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect( "" )
else:
notes_form = NotesForm()
return render_to_response("write_note/notes.html", {'form':
notes_form}, context_instance=RequestContext(request))
@login_required
def all_notes(request):
all_notes = Notes.objects.all().order_by('-date')
paginate = paginated_stories(request, all_notes)
return render_to_response("report/notes.html",
{'notes': paginate},
context_instance=RequestContext(request))
Current basic templates to submit and display:
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% block page_title %}Notebook{% endblock %}
{% block headline %}Notebook{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
<h2>Write and save notes, quotes and other story info</h2>
<div class="row">
<div class="span8">
<form action="" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_p }}
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="Submit" />
</form>
</div>
</div>
{% endblock %}
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% block page_title %}Notebook{% endblock %}
{% block headline %}Notebook{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
<div class="row">
<div class="span4">
{% if notes %}
{% for note in user.notes.all reversed %}
<h3>{{ note.title }}</h3>
<p>{{ note.date }}</p>
<p>{{ note.copy }}</p>
{% endfor %}
{% else %}
<p>You have no notes stored.</p>
{% endif %}
</div>
</div>
{% endblock content %}
And the two urls:
url(r'^write_note/$', 'stentorian.report.views.submit_note',
name='write_note'),
url(r'^notes/', 'stentorian.report.views.all_notes', name='all_notes')
