Feel free to post up an example of what you're having problems with-- and drop the link in here. Hopefully the https://gist.github.com/doobeh/aa0e07892922cfa32123a6926c7720a5 example can provide more examples (without the filter confusing things) — You are receiving this because you commented.

I don't think it uses good practices because Form does not contains any CSRF token.
