understanding urls, forms, and HTTP ERROR 405

[Phil Kauffman]

Hello,

Newbie in need of a little shove. It seems I need to review the purpose of the urls.py file. At present I am getting an HTTP Error 405 with the following:

urls.py:

path('', views.show_site, name = 'home'),
path('site-view', views.List.as_view(), name='site-view')

views.py

class List(ListView):
    def get_queryset(self, *args, **kwargs):
        return Profile.objects.filter(sitename_id=self.kwargs['pk'])
def show_site(request):
    form = SelectSite()
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = SelectSite(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            pass
    else:
        form = SelectSite()
    return render(request, 'app/home.html', {'form': form})

home.html

{% extends 'app\base.html' %}

{% block title %}Site Home{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
<h1>This Form is Terrible</h1>
<form action={% url 'site-view' %} method="post">{% csrf_token %}
    <p> {{form}} </p>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>
{% endblock %}

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

HTTP 405 error code states the the HTTP method is not allowed on the endpoint (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/405) 

urls.py:

path('', views.show_site, name = 'home'),
path('site-view', views.List.as_view(), name='site-view')

views.py

class List(ListView):
    def get_queryset(self, *args, **kwargs):

You need to define the post() method yourself, 

def show_site(request):
    form = SelectSite()
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = SelectSite(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            pass
    else:
        form = SelectSite()
    return render(request, 'app/home.html', {'form': form})

home.html

{% extends 'app\base.html' %}

{% block title %}Site Home{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
<h1>This Form is Terrible</h1>
<form action={% url 'site-view' %} method="post">{% csrf_token %}
    <p> {{form}} </p>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>
{% endblock %}

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

So something like this?

def site(request, site_id):
    site = get_object_or_404(Site.name, pk=site_id)
   
def sitesubmit(request):
    #    site=get_object_or_404(Site, pk=site_id)

    form = SelectSite()
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = SelectSite(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():

            instance = form.save(commit=False)
            instance.name = site.site_id
            instance.save()

    else:
        form = SelectSite()
    return render(request, 'app/home.html', {'form': form})

I'm just learning this stuff. If you can think of any posts or examples please let me know.

Yes if you are using method based views. You can still do the same using class-based views by referring to the following https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15622354/django-listview-with-post-method
