I have a form on the homepage of mydomain.com that instructs people to
submit their email address and we'll notify them when we launch our
service. For those visitors that submit the form, I want to store the
referer. I am able to print out the HTTP_REFERER on the same template
as the form but I cannot figure out how to store the correct referer
in the database.
I have the following in my views.py, the lines commented out are
approaches I took that were unsuccessful. I realize I could try a
hidden form variable but am wondering if there is something else I can
do.
# Create your views here.
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
from django.forms import ModelForm
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from permission.models import Sneezer
class SneezerForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Sneezer
exclude = ['ip_address', 'referer', 'timestamp']
def add_sneezer(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
# referer = request.META.get("HTTP_REFERER", "")
# line above generates an empty value in database
data = request.POST
#data = data.copy()
#data.update({"referer" : referer})
form = SneezerForm(data)
if form.is_valid():
new_sneezer = form.save(commit=False)
new_sneezer.ip_address =
request.META.get("REMOTE_ADDR", "")
#new_sneezer.referer = request.META.get("HTTP_REFERER",
"")
#stores mydomain.com as the value every time, thus its
storing the
referer of the POST
new_sneezer.save()
return render_to_response('thanks.html')
else:
form = SneezerForm(initial={'referer':
request.META.get("HTTP_REFERER", "")})
return render_to_response('index.html', { 'form': form,
'original_referer': request.META.get("HTTP_REFERER", "") })
def index(request):
form = SneezerForm(initial={'referer':
request.META.get("HTTP_REFERER", "")})
return render_to_response('index.html', { 'form': form,
'original_referer': request.META.get("HTTP_REFERER", "") })
