I guess on Part 4 is what I need...
So hmmm.
def vote(request, poll_id):
p = get_object_or_404(Poll, pk=poll_id)
try:
selected_choice = p.choice_set.get(pk=request.POST['choice'])
except (KeyError, Choice.DoesNotExist):
# Redisplay the poll voting form.
return render_to_response('polls/detail.html', {
'poll': p,
'error_message': "You didn't select a choice.",
}, context_instance=RequestContext(request))
else:
selected_choice.votes += 1
selected_choice.save()
# Always return an HttpResponseRedirect after successfully dealing
# with POST data. This prevents data from being posted twice if a
# user hits the Back button.
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('polls.views.results',
args=(p.id,)))
So originally:
selected_choice = p.choice_set.get(pk=request.POST['choice'])
this requests the submitted choice from the POST data and
The part that says:
selected_choice.votes += 1
selected_choice.save()
Actually saves the choice to the database?
Is it just two lines? requesting the data form request.POST and then that
variable.save() to store it in the database?
