Oh, heck - you're a newbie, and hopefully you did some more thinking before
you see this response...
Massimo is fond of showing the right answers (which is great, don't get me
wrong);
I find more joy in finding the right questions (for they lead to the right
answers, or sometimes more than one...)
So -
one thing you are missing (I think) is that the view and the controller do
not share variables - you have to pass them in a dict; you are only passing
form; Massimo's example passed a value. That' step one. You discovered
step two - you must somewhere be sure that the value is a valid string (even
if empty).
....
return dict(form=form, name=auth_user.first_name)
....
{{ if not name: name = "" }}
....
Does that help?
