Hello my dear programmers,
i am trown into the deep with this project.
i need to build a e-commerce website but a little bit different, this person does not want a checkout cart but a contact form underneath every product with a field for:
name
product
textfield
we need to make it so the SKU of the product on that page gets inserted in the product field.
maybe there is a way to do it with a url instead, that it automaticly pastes the products URL in a textField.
i hope someone can give me some directions i need to look in or some documentation to read.

In Django, you can define URLs with regular expressions (as I'm sure you know). So a URL for a product page might look something like this:
url(r'^product/(?P<sku>\d+)$'
When the view is called from this URL, the sku is passed in as a keyword argument to the view. Then, when the template is rendered from the view, you can pass the keyword argument in as a variable:
{{ sku }}
This variable should automatically be included if extending a DetailView (otherwise use get_context_data).
Therefore, with a little Django templating (perhaps even Javascript), it should be a breeze to prepopulate form fields in your front-end templates with the SKU.
Here are some helpful links:
