USER STORY: Store contact form requests

[KatePaulauskas]

As a Site Owner I can store contact form requests in the database so that I can review them, mark as read or delete.

Acceptance Criteria

• Given a site user submits the contact form
• When the form data is sent to the server
• Then the data should be stored in the database securely
• And the site owner should be able to access and review this submission

Tasks

• [x] Create a database model for storing contact requests. Include fields for name, email, message, submission date, and a status field to track whether the request has been read.
• [x] Implement functionality to capture and store data from the form submissions.
• [x] Apply validation on the server side to prevent SQL injection and ensure data integrity.
• [x] Use Django’s built-in protections against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) to secure form submissions.
• [x] Utilize Django’s admin interface to create a custom panel where submitted requests can be reviewed.
• [x] Ensure that the admin panel is intuitive and allows the site owner to easily manage the contact requests.
• [x] Conduct thorough testing to ensure that form data is correctly captured, securely stored, and easily accessible via the admin panel.
