Can't get a Chapter 7 example to work.

[django-user59]

Hi,

I could not get the Chapter 7 "contact" form example to work. The
public copy-paste is here: http://dpaste.com/747112/copy/

The message I get is:

AttributeError at /contact/
'ContactForm' object has no attribute 'status_code'

My ContactForm definition is as follows:

from django import forms

class ContactForm(forms.Form):
subject = forms.CharField(max_length=100)
email = forms.EmailField(required=False, label='Your e-mail
address')
message = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea)
def clean_message(self):
message = self.cleaned_data['message']
num_words = len(message.split())
if num_words < 4:
raise forms.ValidationError("Not enough words!")
return message

My wild guess is that you're returning an instance of ContactForm in one of your views. A view should return an HttpResponse object. Check your view that uses this form

Yati,

Thanks so much for a fast response.

Here is my views.py code - I thought I'm returning an instance of HttpResponse.

from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect

from django.core.mail import send_mail

from django.shortcuts import render_to_response

from demoapp.contact.forms import ContactForm

def contact(request):

    if request.method == 'POST':

        form = ContactForm(request.POST)

        if form.is_valid():

            cd = form.cleaned_data

            send_mail(

                cd['subject'],

                cd['message'],

                cd.get('email', 'x...@example.com'),

                ['x...@example.com'],

            )

            return HttpResponseRedirect('/contact/thanks/')

    else:

        form = ContactForm(initial={'subject': 'I love your site'})

    return render_to_response('contact_form.html', {'form': form})

Found the problem!

The urls.py was set incorrectly -

changed from:

    url(r'^contact/$', 'demoapp.contact.views.ContactForm'),

to:

    url(r'^contact/$', 'demoapp.contact.views.contact'),

and that makes it work.

Thanks - your hint that the object was not a HttpResponse was important one to pursue.

Glad you solved it :)

Cheers
