Great suggestion Rajesh.
I've shifted everything into a custom context processor and
everythign's runnign well, with the view showing and emailing from any
page, however there's a final step I'm looking to resolve: returning
the HttpResponseRedirect within the context processor fails silently.
The context_processor.py file is this:
def login_form(request):
from website.contact.forms import ContactForm
from django.core.mail import send_mail
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
if request.method == 'POST':
form = ContactForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
cd = form.cleaned_data
send_mail(
cd['subject'],
cd['message'],
cd.get('email', '[email protected]'),
['[email protected]'],
)
return HttpResponseRedirect('/contact/thanks/')#Not
redirecting
yet.
else:
form = ContactForm(
initial={'subject': 'Here's a suggestion...'}
)
return {'form': form}
There's little documentation I've found on this one. Any help
appreciated.
