csrf question

[G Z]

So I read the documentation on passing csrf tokens, however its giving me an issue i think its because im trying to pass it as a dictonary variable with my form and customers.

This is from the documentation

from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_protect
from django.shortcuts import render

@csrf_protect
def my_view(request):
    c = {}
    # ...
    return render(request, "a_template.html", c)

from django.shortcuts import render

from django.http import HttpResponse

from vmware.models import Customer

from django.shortcuts import render_to_response

from vmware.models import Vms

from .forms import SignUpForm

from vmware.models import Vmspecs

from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_protect

@csrf_protect

def index(request):

        c = {}

        form = SignUpForm(request.POST or None)

        if form.is_valid():

                save_it = form.save(commit=False)

                save_it.save()

        customers = Customer.objects.all()

        ctx = { 'customers':customers, 'form':form, c}

        return render_to_response('index.html', ctx)

this is the error i get

Specifically, you're passing 'c' into the ctx dictionary, but it has no key, that's the syntax error. But that c dictionary is redundant anyway since you've created your own context dictionary. Just remove the declaration of that object and don't pass it into the dictionary.

What do you mean,

If i take it out of the ctx dictionary how do I pass it. if I just declare the @csrf_protect I still get the token error trying to post my form, infact the csrf issue is the only thing I have left to fix. How are you supposed to do the csrf token because im following the documentation and its not working. I tried what you suggested removing the declaration no luck.

solved it

from django.shortcuts import render

from django.http import HttpResponse

from vmware.models import Customer

from django.shortcuts import render_to_response

from vmware.models import Vms

from .forms import SignUpForm

from vmware.models import Vmspecs

from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_protect

from django.template import Template, RequestContext

def index(request):

        form = SignUpForm(request.POST or None)

        if form.is_valid():

                save_it = form.save(commit=False)

                save_it.save()

        customers = Customer.objects.all()

        ctx = { 'customers':customers, 'form':form}

        return render_to_response('index.html', ctx, context_instance=RequestContext(request))
