Django Contact Form

A very simple contact form for a Django website. The form is emailed to one or more email addresses upon submission.

Requires

Django >= 1.4

Installation

Install the latest release using pip:

pip install quix.django.contact

Or install the development version using git:

git clone https://github.com/Quixotix/quix.django.contact.git

Add quix.django.contact to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py.

Basic Usage

Specify the email addresses which will recieve the contact form message in settings.py:

CONTACT_EMAILS = ('somebody@localhost', 'another@localhost')

Include quix.django.contact.urls in urls.py:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # ...
    url(r'^contact/', include('quix.django.contact.urls')),
    # ...
)

Create the 3 templates (see examples in the next section):

• contact/form.html - The contact form with form in the context.
• contact/success.html - Page the form redirects to when successful.
• contact/email.txt - The text template for the email.

Link to the contact form in a template using the "contact-form" named URL pattern:

<a href="{% url contact-form %}">Contact</a>
