I have no idea what you mean by "stop working" -- without knowing what the
code looked like before, I don't know how it worked before. The usual rule
is that if something worked before, and doesn't work now, then the problem
is in something that you did in between.
Now if this is a new view, and has never worked at all, then that's
different.
At a first glance, you are using "render_to_response" in your view. This
method creates a Context object out of the dictionary that you pass it (in
your case, {'form': form} ).
A Context object doesn't know anything about the request, so {{ request.path
}} won't work in the template. It also doesn't have any ContextProcessors
applied, so you won't have access to context variables like {{ STATIC_URL
}}. The *only* variable that will be available in your template is {{ form
}}, because you passed it in.
What you want is a RequestContext object, rather than a Context object. You
can get one in your template, by adding one parameter to render_to_response:
from django.template import RequestContext
...
def contact(request):
...
render_to_reponse(
'/var/djcode/oneadmin/templates/oneadmissions/contact.html',
{'form': form},
context_instance=RequestContext(request)
)
That should give you a functioning template.
