Hi just started facing the same problem which you did in chapter 7 . I tried
using
def contact(request):
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', 'nore...@example.com'),
['siteow...@example.com'],
)
return HttpResponseRedirect('/contact/thanks/')
else:
form = ContactForm()
return render_to_response('contact_form.html', {'form':
form},context_instance=RequestContext(request))
but still i get the following could you please tell me how you resolved the
issue...
Forbidden (403)
CSRF verification failed. Request aborted.
Help
Reason given for failure:
CSRF token missing or incorrect.
In general, this can occur when there is a genuine Cross Site Request
Forgery, or when
Django's
CSRF mechanism has not been used correctly. For POST forms, you need to
ensure:
The view function uses RequestContext
for the template, instead of Context.In the template, there is a {%
csrf_token
%} template tag inside each POST form that
targets an internal URL.If you are not using CsrfViewMiddleware, then you
must use
csrf_protect on any views that use the csrf_token
template tag, as well as those that accept the POST data.
You're seeing the help section of this page because you have DEBUG =
True in your Django settings file. Change that to False,
and only the initial error message will be displayed.
You can customize this page using the CSRF_FAILURE_VIEW setting.
