I have this code(which doesn't give me expected result)
#subject_content.html
{% block main-menu %}
{% include "subject_base.html" %}
{% endblock %}
#subject_base.html
....
....
<div id="homework" class="tab-section">
<h2>Homework</h2>
{% include "subject_file_upload.html" %}
</div>
child template:
#subject_file_upload.html
<form action="." method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_p }}
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
and my view
#views.py
@login_required
def subject(request,username, subject):
if request.method == "POST":
form = CarsForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect("/")
form = CarsForm()
return render_to_response('subject_content.html', {'form':form}, context_instance=RequestContext(request))
The above code creates HTML in the way I want it to be, however the form does not update database.
BUT,
If I skip the middle template and go directly to the uploading form, it works fine:
#subject_content.html
{% block main-menu %}
{% include "subject_file_upload.html" %}
{% endblock %}
Help me please to make it work with middle template. I want to do this, because I don't wan't to type the same code more than once.
Like @Besnik suggested, it's pretty simple:
{% include "subject_file_upload.html" with form=form foo=bar %}
The documentation for include
mentions this. It also mentions that you can use only
to render the template with the given variables only, without inheriting any other variables.
Thank you @Besnik
