[Fixed]-Shared Django contact form across different views

✅

Class-based views (and some neat Django shortcuts) to the rescue:

from django.core.mail import send_mail
from django.views import generic
from django.template import render_to_string


class ContactFormView(generic.FormView):
    form_class = ContactForm
    template_name = 'listing/listing_list.html'
    success_url = 'listings'
    location_type = None

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        context = super(ContactFormView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
        context['listings'] = (Listing.objects
                               .filter(location_type=self.location_type)
                               .order_by('listing_order'))
        return context

    def form_valid(self, form):
        message = render_to_string('contact_template.txt', form.cleaned_data)
        send_mail('Form Submission from Listings Page', message,
                  form.cleaned_data['contact_email'])
        return super(ContactFormView, self).form_valid(form)


class FullService(ContactFormView):
    location_type='FULL_SERVICE'


class QuickServe(ContactFormView):
    location_type='QUICK_SERVE'
