PODjango: issues rendering form and submitting with ModelForm
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm trying to create a form that lets users add Notes to objects. It's similiar to the django comment package but I have not been able to get that to work (the tutorial in django documentation isn't working). </p> <p>Here is my model and ModelForm:</p> <pre><code>class Note(models.Model): text = models.CharField(max_length = 200) thing_about = generic.GenericForeignKey('content_type','object_id') content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType, limit_choices_to={"model__in": ("Individual", "ArtsOrganization",'Presenter', "BookingAgent","Festival","ManagementCompany", "OtherOrganization","PresenterCompany", "Venue", "Gig", "Venue")},blank=True, null=True) object_id = models.IntegerField(db_index=True, blank=True, null=True,) date_added = models.DateTimeField(('date added'), auto_now_add=True) date_modified = models.DateTimeField(('date modified'), auto_now=True) author = models.ForeignKey(User) def __unicode__(self): return u'%s' % (self.date_added) class NoteForm(ModelForm): class Meta: model = Note </code></pre> <p>My views.py</p> <pre><code>def note(request): if request.method == 'POST': # If the form has been submitted... form = NoteForm(request.POST) # A form bound to the POST data if form.is_valid(): # All validation rules pass # Process the data in form.cleaned_data form.save() return HttpResponseRedirect('/thanks/') # Redirect after POST else: form = NoteForm() # An unbound form return render(request, 'includes/note.html', { 'form': form, }) </code></pre> <p>I have created a template under myapp/templates/includes/note.html so that I can use the form for each object (which all have different detail pages) i.e. make a note on the Band page and the Venue page using the same form.</p> <p>Here is the contents of the template 'includes/notes.html':</p> <pre><code><form action="includes/note/" method="post">{% csrf_token %} {{ form.as_p }} <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> </code></pre> <p>The problem is that the form does not render. I'm not sure if the view is reaching the template so that it even knows what form to render. </p>

An individual column

Larger individual text columns get their own page to allow for proper reading.
