put all of the otherwise duplicative code into its own function within
another module. then import that function into your views.py, i.e:
at the top of views.py:
from formprocessing.py import formprocessor
then within formproccessor.py
def processemail(email, reference_name):
subject = 'Your suggestion has been received.'
message = "Thank you for suggesting %s to us. We'll review
your suggestion and get back to you as quickly as possible." %
(reference_name)
send_mail(subject, message, email,
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]')
and of course in the view:
if form.is_valid():
first_name = form.cleaned_data['first_name']
last_name = form.cleaned_data['last_name']
email = form.cleaned_data['email']
reference_name = form.cleaned_data['reference_name']
url = form.cleaned_data['url']
processemail(email, reference_name):
request.session['first_name'] = first_name
return HttpResponseRedirect('/articles-and-books/thanks/')
you could have it do all of the form processing if you need it too, just
depends on what you need.
