First time posting on the site, apologies before hand as I am a newbie.
Building a Django project in Visual Studio for a class and need a signature form to appear on one of the pages. Currently been following this guide: https://pypi.org/project/django-jsignature/ but have hit a roadblock as all I can get to show on the page is a save button. Below I've listed what I've got.
forms.py
from django import forms
...
from jsignature.forms import JSignatureField
from jsignature.widgets import JSignatureWidget
...
class SignatureForm(forms.Form):
signature = JSignatureField()
template.html
{% extends "app/layout.html" %}
{% block content %}
<html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
{{form.media }}
<form action="." method="POST">
{% for field in form %}
{{ field.label_tag }}
{{ field }}
{% endfor %}
<input type="submit" value="Save"/>
{% csrf_token %}
</form>
</body>
{% endblock %}
views.py
from jsignature.utils import draw_signature
from app.forms import SignatureForm
...
def signature(request):
assert isinstance(request, HttpRequest)
return render(
request,
'app/template.html',
{
'title':'About',
'message':'Your application description page.',
'year':datetime.now().year,
}
)
def my_view(request):
form = SignatureForm(request.POST or None)
if form.is_valid():
signature = form.cleaned_data.get('signature')
if signature:
#as an image
signature_picture = draw_signature(signature)
#or as a file
signature_file_path = draw_signature(signature, as_file=True)
Again, when taken to my template page all that populates is a lone save button. I included this in the body of my layout html page as I had read it could be an issue with running the script on the page but still no luck.
<script src="ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Hopefully I have provided sufficient info.
I had the same problem. I fixed it by changing where I put
{{ form.media }}. Documentation says to put it above the form, I instead inserted it bellow all my other JS imports.base.html
form-template.html
