Payments Pro Form Action

[Nick]

Hi there,

Please forgive me if this is a naive question, but I'm rather new to Paypal and somewhat new to Django and I've had some trouble getting answers...

Going through the tutorial to get Website Payments Pro working. The payment.html template for WPP doesn't have any form action, and the form that the buy_my_item view generates does nothing to remedy this. I'm getting a prompt for credit card information, etc, but when I click, the page does nothing.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

With much gratitude,

Nick

Worked it out. The templates in README don't seem to work, but the ones that are set as the default (payment.html, confirmation.html) work well.

If no form action is specifed then the form will submit to the url of the page it is on.
Django forms do not automatically generate the opening and closing <form> html tags so you have to wrap them in it yourself. For example:
<form action="" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_p }}
</form>

Would submit the form to the current url using post. Are you trying something similar?

Regards,
Josh

I had been literally copying the templates for WPP in the README, but they weren't working out. The default templates bundled with the code worked, though.
