Forms questions

[Hugo Kitano]

Hi, I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with my form:

I've noticed that every time I load my submit view, the request.method is GET not POST, so nothing gets saved to the database.


Here's views.py


models.py


Thanks!!

Can you provide the template code?

[Hugo Kitano]

Here it is, very simple:

<h1> Submit form: </h1>
<form action="/stats/" method="post">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form.as_p }}
    <p><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></p>
</form>

I've realized that the action field in the form should be "/stats/submit/", the same view as the one that sent me to the template.  However, whenever I submit with the form then, it tells me that the file I submit is missing, even when it is definitely there.

If there's a file in the form data, I'm no expert but I have fought a little with forms and files and I advise you to look in the internet for multipart forms and file inputs inside forms.

Read this section of the manual, particularly the section starting
"Firstly, ...". The problems yo uare having are that you aren't
telling Django there are files to read in the POST, and even if the
files were being read from the POST, you aren't passing them to the
form.
