Django Form Question, Last Post Wasn't Formatted Correctly So I Deleted and Made a New One.

[G Z]

Below is my code. I am trying to generate a customer signup form from the Customer model in the models.py file.

Below I have created forms.py which is the script that will generate the form data based on what is in the models.py file.

Then in views. I call that forms.py file to run and display the form data.

However no fields are populated just the submit button shows.

 

forms.py

from django import forms

from .models import Customer

class SignUpForm(forms.ModelForm):

        class Meta:

                model = Customer

models.py

class Customer(models.Model):

    NAME = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    WEBSITE = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    PHONE = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    EMAIL = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    ADDRESS = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    VMIDS = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    def __unicode__(self):

        return self.NAME

views.py

from django.shortcuts import render

from django.http import HttpResponse

from vmware.models import Customer

from django.shortcuts import render_to_response

from vmware.models import Vms

from .forms import SignUpForm

def index(request):

        form = SignUpForm(request.POST or None)

        if form.is_valid():

                save_it = form.save(commit=False)

                save_it.save()

        customers = Customer.objects.all()

        ctx = { 'customers':customers }

        return render_to_response('index.html', ctx)

index.html

<form action='' method='POST'> {% csrf_token %}

     {{ form.as_p }}

     <p><input type="submit" value="Add"></p>

</form>

Please pass the form to the template :)

You're passing two different dictionary parameters there. Try something like this:

        ctx = { 'customers':customers,  'form': form }

        return render_to_response('index.html', ctx)
