Finding It Hard To Make It Work!

[coded kid]

Hello, I want to make the below codes let users update their status in
the Django . And their update should display on the same template. But
it’s not working. E.g when a user type in “To be a hacker is not a
day’s job” in the status textarea and click on update button below the
form. The update should display on the same template for his or her
friends to see. Just like how we post status update on fb.

In models.py
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.forms import ModelForm, Textarea, HiddenInput
from django.db import models



class mob (models.Model):
username=models.ForeignKey(User, unique=True)
state_province=models.CharField(max_length=50)
body=models.TextField(max_length=10000)
date=models.DateTimeField()

def __unicode__(self):
return u"%s - %s - %s - %s" % (self.username,
self.state_province, self.body, self.date)

def get_absolute_url(self):
return "/post/%s/" % unicode(self.id)
def get_author_url(self):
return "/u/%s/p/0" % (self.username)

class mobForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model=mob
fields=('body','username','state_province','date')
widgets={
'body':Textarea(attrs={"rows":2, "cols":40}),
'username': (HiddenInput),
'state_province': (HiddenInput),
'date':(HiddenInput),
}


In views.py
from myweb.meekapp.models import mobForm, mob
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.http import HttpResponse, Http404
from django.template import RequestContext
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect

def homey(request):
#if there’s nothing in the field do nothing.
if request. method != "":
return HttpResponseRedirect('/homi/')

newmob=mob()
newmob.username=request.user
newmob.date=datetime.datetime.now()
newmob.body=request.POST['body']
if request.POST['body'] <> '':
newmob.body=body.objects.get(id=request.POST['body'])
newmob.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/homi/')
else:
return render_to_response('meek_home.html', {'mobForm':
mobForm },context_instance=RequestContext(request))




in template

{% extends "base_meek.html" %}
{% block body %}
<div class="form">
<form action="." method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<table>
{{ mobForm }}
</table>
<input type="submit" value="Update" />
</form>
{% endblock %}



What am I doing wrong? Would love to hear your opinion.

Use AJAX or asynchronous programming

Google "ajax tutorial" or even better just google jquery and take it
from there. There are several tutorials on how to integrate jquery and
django as well.

Thanks bro. Will do. But do you know about a specific Topic I should
learn?

For instance http://webcloud.se/log/AJAX-in-Django-with-jQuery/ -
showing you both the ajax-part using jQuery and integration with
Django.

But seriously, just google ajax jquery and django. You'll get lots of
hits with great stuff. Google is your friend.

I agree with Thomas. Google ajax tutorials and that should get you
started. Basically what you'd be doing is to create a form where users
type in their "status". The data would be submitted via ajax and if
successful, the status would be appended to the page. A more detailed
explanation wouldn't be appropriate for this group.

Way to go bro
