Passing parameters to form action in Django?

Question

Template:

<form method="post" action="/reply/{{feed.id}}/">

    {{rform.as_p}}

    <input type="submit" value="send" /> 

</form>

and url:

(r'^reply/(\d+)/$',reply),

But when we submit the form, {{feed.id}} is not translated and url directs to /reply//

Are parameters not allowed in form actions?
If its allowed then why is it not working here?

Thanks

If it directs to /reply// (with double slashes), {{feed.id}} outputs empty string. It's the problem. — DrTyrsa

Please give more context - no idea of where feed comes from — Kevin Shea

If {{ feed.id }} is empty it means that that either feed.id is empty, or feed is None. Make sure you are passing feed in your view context when you render the template using render_to_response

I assume your feed is dictionary object?

In your views.py module

from django.shortcuts import render_to_response;

def myforms(request):
    feed = {"id":"369"}
    return render_to_response('html-template/blank.html', {'feed': feed})
