Django not saving form in DB from frontend

[Ali khan]

Hi,

I am newbie so I must be doing some stupid mistake here.

I am trying to save a contact form with ModelForm. But its not saving in DB from the frontend form.

model.py

class Contact(models.Model):

     name = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True, blank=True)

     email = models.EmailField()

     send_quote = models.FileField(upload_to='/contacts')

      def __unicode__(self)

           return self.name

forms.py

from .models import Contact

from djagno import forms

from django.forms import ModelForm

class ContactForm(forms.ModelForm):

        class Meta:

                    model = Contact

                    fields = ['name', 'email', 'send_quote']

views.py:

from Django.shortcuts import render, redirect

from .forms import ContactForm

def contact_form(request):

        template = 'contact.html'

        if request.method == 'POST':

               form = ContactForm(request.POST or None, request.Files or None)

               if form.is_valid():

                     new_form = form

                     new_form.save(commit=True)

                     

                return redirect('/')

           else:

                  form = RFPForm

            return render(request, template, context={"form":form})

contact.html:

<form action=" " method="POST">

{% csrf_token %}

{{ form }}

<input type='submit' class='btn btn-danger' value='Send' />

</form>

Please advise.

Appologies. In my view after else clause its ContactForm.

I would try to replace

if form.is_valid():
new_form = form
new_form.save(commit=True)

with :

if form.is_valid():
print("Form is valid")
form.save(commit=True)
else:
print("Invalid form")


Pretty sure you will get an invalid form, due to a missing field
send_quote field. For the form to send the file, you need to add an
enctype=multipart or something related.

Please change

def contact_form(request):

        template = 'contact.html'

        if request.method == 'POST':

               form = ContactForm(request.POST or None, request.Files or None)

               if form.is_valid():

                     new_form = form

                     new_form.save(commit=True)

                     

                return redirect('/')

           else:

                  form = ContactForm

            return render(request, template, context={"form":form})

To

def contact_form(request):

        template = 'contact.html'

        form = ContactForm(request.POST or None, request.Files or None)

               if form.is_valid():

                     form.save()

               else:

                      do something here

               return render(request, template, context={"form":form})

You are saving a form but calling back variable that holds unsaved version of the form.
