Django Post Issue

[G Z]

I'm trying to post

customer_id

while generating a combo box with a loop from a database query.

I have the combo box generating and such, but the posted data does not return the customer id. It returns something weird.

<form method='post' action='' id='customers'>
{% csrf_token %}
<select>
{% for item in customer %}
<option value={{ item.customer_id }} name='customer_id'>{{ item.customer_name }}</option>
{% endfor %}
<input type = 'submit' value='Edit'>
</select>
{{ post }}

this is what it returns

<QueryDict: {u'csrfmiddlewaretoken': [u'CpzKrwmZsmfiiNHngNWDFSNxqUoBykYO']}>

def portal(request):
    
    customers = Customer.objects.all()
    
    
    
    if request.method == 'POST':
       vm_groups = Vm_group.objects.all()
       vms = Vm.objects.all()
       selected_customer = request.POST.copy()
       #selected_customer_id = selected_customer['customer_id']
 
       post = selected_customer
       context = Context({'customer': customers, 'vm_groups':vm_groups, 'vms':vms, 'post':post, 
                                                   })
       
       return render(request, 'portal.html', context)
    
    else:
       context = Context({'customer': customers,})
       return render(request, 'portal.html', context)

The "name" attribute should be on the select tag. E.g:

<select name="customer_id">
  <option value="foo">Foo</option>
</select>

Only form elements with names are submitted.

Thanks lol its one of those days, I notice i was calling the options the name instead of the select.

this might be a django ism but after i post the number and try to check it with an if statement it doesnt do anythign but if i print both out they are the same here is the code

{% if user.is_authenticated %}
<h1>Enki-Corp says... hello {{ user.username }}!</h1>
{% else %}
<h1>Enki-Corp says... hello world!</h1>
{% endif %}

{% if user.is_authenticated %}

<form method='post' action='' id='customers'>
{% csrf_token %}

<select name='customer_id'>

{% for item in customer %}

<option value={{ item.customer_id }} >{{ item.customer_name }}</option>

{% endfor %}
<input type = 'submit' value='Edit'>
</select>

<table>
    <tr>
        <th>ID</th>
     
        <th>NAME</th>
    </tr>
    <br>

    {% for item in customer %}

{{post}} -  {{item.customer_id}} <br> //where I print them out to check if they match when infact there is a matching number it does nothing. but all my if statements below work.

 

   {% if post == item.customer_id %}
test
<tr>
       <td valign='top'>{{ item.customer_id }}  <a href="{{ item.customer_id }}">{{ item.customer_name }}</a>
       <li>Customer Inactive: {{item.inactive}}</li>
       </td>
       <td>
        {% for group in vm_groups %}
        {% if item.customer_id == group.customer_id %}
        {% for vm in vms %}
        {% if group.vm_group_id == vm.vm_group_id %}
        <ul>
              <li>VM Name: {{vm.vm_name}}</li>
              <ul>
              <li>VM ID: {{vm.vm_id}}</li>
              <li>VM Display Name: {{vm.vm_display_name}}</li>
              <li>VM Group: {{group.vm_group_name}}</li>
              <li>Vm Mor:  {{vm.vm_mor}} </li>
              <li>Vm Datacenter:  {{vm.datacenter_id}} </li>
              <li>VCD Managed:  {{vm.vcd_managed}} </li>
              </ul>
              </ul>

       {%endif%}
   {%endfor%}
        {%endif%}
       {% endfor %}    
   </td>    
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan='2' align='center'>  </td>
{%endif%}
    {% endfor %}
 
</table>
</form>

solved it item.customer_id was a int post needed to be passed as an int..
