How do I make my form send a POST request to a specified view?

[Tom Tanner]

My page has a registration form at `"/login_register/"`. I want the form to send a POST request to `"/register/"`. Here's my code so far.

`urls.py`:

url("^login_register/$", views.login_register, name="login_register"),

url("^register/$", views.register, name="register"),

`views.py`:

def login_register(request, template="pages/login_register.html"):
 '''
 Display registration and login forms
 '''
 registration_form= RegisterForm()
 return render(request, template, {"registration_form": registration_form})


def register(request):
 '''
 Process user registration
 '''
 if request.method=="POST":
   # Some code here

`pages/login_register.html`:

 # For this example, I only include the registration form's HTML
 <h2>Register</h2>
 <form method="post">
 {% csrf_token %}
 {{ registration_form.as_p }}
 <button type="submit">Register</button>
 </form>

When I hit "Register" on the form, my browser sends a POST request to "login_register/". I want it to send a POST request to "register/". How do I do this?

You need an "action" attribute to your form

Because you are missing the form action, then the browser POSTs to the current url as default, see:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/intro/tutorial04/#write-a-simple-form

 

`pages/login_register.html`:

 # For this example, I only include the registration form's HTML
 <h2>Register<

/h2>
 <form action="" method="post">

 {% csrf_token %}
 {{ registration_form.as_p }}
 <button type="submit">Register</

button>
 </form>

login_register.html :

 <form method="post" action="{% url 'register' %}">

 {% csrf_token %}
 {{ registration_form.as_p }}
 <button type="submit">Register</

button>
 </form>
