Setup

We need an email server to send the emails from - we do this by using mail gun's SMTP server. All we need to do is add some default settings to the config file.

Form to Email

To add Form to email, we only require a few things.

<form method="POST" action="/page_cms/email/"> {% csrf_token %} <input type="hidden" name="url" value="{{ request.get_full_path }}"> <input type="hidden" name="contact_group" value="email_group1"> <input type="hidden" name="message" value="Thank you for witting this email..."> <input type="text" name="title"> <textarea name="comment"></textarea> <button>contact</button> <input type="hidden" name="please_nofill"></form>

You need to make a user group of who is going to be emailed, and .

The URL is the redirect after the email is sent.

If the form needs to upload a file, include the following attribute

< form method="POST" action="/page_cms/email/" enctype="multipart/form-data">

<form class="mail_chimp_signup" action="/page_cms/mailchimp/">
    <input type="hidden" name="url" value="{{ request.get_full_path }}">
    <label for="id_mailchimp_email">{{constants.news_letter_text.plain_text}}</label>
