Sorry, i am a bit of a beginner at Django and Python.
I am following the contact form tutorial from chapter 7 of the new
book and instead of emailing the form contents i want to save it to a
database.
I referenced the model part from the main Django tutorial on the
website.
Ill have a look into ModelForm, i havent heard of it before
Thanks
