Hey dude, Let's say you have some model with fields defined. It's called Business. Looks something like this:
class Business(models.Model): id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True) name = models.CharField("Business Name", max_length=NAME, blank=False) You create a ModelForm like this: class BusinessDetailsForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Business In your view you have a method that captures the POST and saves it inside the model: def save_business_details(request): if request.POST: form = BusinessDetailsForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): form.save() return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse("your_app.views.some_view_when_submission_is_successful", args=[])) else: here you pass back the form or whatever return render_to_response(and render that whatever) So, form.save() will save the details. I hope that helps! -m On 3 February 2012 14:40, Python_Junkie <software.buy.des...@gmail.com>wrote: > Not sure if this will help, but I have diverted from the standard > method of database updates taught in the tutorial. > > I take a more traditional sql methodology > > for example in any view that I am using. > > I collect the data elements via a request > and then build a sql statement > > for example > > (The exact syntax may be a little off.) > > var_1=request.post(name) > > var_2=...etc > > insert into table 1(col_1,col_2) values ('var_1,var_2) > > commit > > > Let me know if this helps and I can update the syntax to be more > precise. > > On Feb 2, 9:51 pm, ajohnston <ajohnston...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Feb 2, 2:30 pm, ds39 <sdavid...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Is there any page, outside of the > > > > > official documentation, that gives an example from beginning to end > > > regarding how to save ModelForms in your database using views.py > > > rather than the shell (including sample URLs) ?
