Can't save to Postgres db locally - Fresher

[Emmanuel klutse]

Hello Team,
I need help please, I’m try to save to my db from a FORM using the command below.
I’ve all I could but the process keeps failing and I’m stack.

File "/Users/emmanuelklutse/Documents/djangodev/myPortfolio/emmanuel/views.py", l
ine 17, in contact
c = contact(email='email',subject='subject',message='message')
TypeError: contact() got an unexpected keyword argument ‘email'


def contact(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
email = request.POST.get('email')
subject = request.POST.get('subject')
message = request.POST.get('message')

c = contact(email='email',subject='subject',message='message')
c.save()

return render (request,'emmanuel/contact.html')
else:
return render (request,'emmanuel/contact.html’)


Thanks,
Emmanuel klutse. Best regards

Problem - 

def contact(request):

      ......

      c = contact(email='email',subject='subject',message='message')

      ......

The two methods that should be doing two separate things have the same name. So, the python interpreter is confused.

Solution - 

Rename anyone of the above methods.

Regards,

You’re passing a string instead of a variable. 

c = contact(email=email,subject=subject,message=message)

Thanks Chetan Ganji, well appreciated.

Hmmmm, I changed the method name but problem still persist.

I have tried all I can to handle the new errors but failed  again.

Is “contact” a model?

Hello,

From what I see contact is a model & you want to create a new contact. So, instead of this;

c = contact(email='email',subject=‘

subject',message='message')

 c.save()

just do this;

c = contact.objects.create(email=email, subject=subject, message=message)

Thanks,

I tried your approach but it failed again.

I will start all over with a different approach. 

I will update you if I find a way out.
