python - How to configure Bootstrap3 form for use with Django form -

i posted similar question previously, answers did not lead me solution. believe solution lies within template, many answers did not seem address.

anyways, believe views.py, forms.py , models.py correct , issue seems calling form within bootstrap3 modal , i'm not quite sure how this.

this issue when form filled out validation not occur, nor email sent database. however, on form submit sent thanyou page, @ least know working properly...

any direction helpful.

index.html

<div class="modal fade" id="mymodal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="mymodallabel" aria-hidden="true">     <div class="modal-dialog">         <div class="modal-content">             <div class="modal-header">                 <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">&times;</button>                 <h4 class="modal-title" id="mymodallabel">sign beta</h4>             </div>              <div class="modal-body">                  <form class="form-horizontal well" data-async data-target="#mymodal" action="thanks/" method="post">                     {% csrf_token %}                      <fieldset>                         <div>your email address:                             <span>                                  <input type="text" id="modalinput"></input>                              </span>                         </div>                     </fieldset>              </div>              <div class="modal-footer">                 <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">close</button>                 <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">submit</button>                 </form>             </div>         </div>     </div> </div> 

views.py

from django.shortcuts import render temp.models import email temp.forms import emailform  def index(request):     if request.method == 'post':         # post, data form         form = emailform(request.post)         if form.is_valid():             # if valid, save, , return new page             form.save()             return render(request, 'temp/thanks.html')         else:             # form has errors, re-render data , error messages             return render(request, 'temp/index.html', {'form': form,})     else:         # get, render new empty form         form = emailform()         return render(request, 'temp/index.html', {'form': form,})  def thanks(request):     return render(request, 'temp/thanks.html') 

forms.py

from django.forms import modelform temp.models import email  class emailform(modelform):     class meta:         model = email 

models.py

from django.db import models  class email(models.model):     email = models.emailfield(max_length=200)      def __unicode__(self):  # python 3: def __str__(self):         return self.email 

edit : didn't see last 2 lines of views. send form thanks/, directly calls

def thanks(request):     return render(request, 'temp/thanks.html') 

without putting in database

try replacing in template :

<form class="form-horizontal well" data-async data-target="#mymodal" action="index/" method="post"> <!-- or whatever url index --> 

if doesn't work :

try print form , values of it's fields see if contains email adress.

also, try changing text input email input, maybe django form requires email input when call emailform cast.
