Hi All,
I have been stuck on this for the last few hours and nothing seems to work.
I would greatly appreciate your help.
I created a Comment model (which uses ContentType) so that I can use it
when any model that I want to.
I also created a CommentForm() ModelForm instance for the Comment model.
I am testing it with the BlogPost model for adding comments to it. But when
I submit the form, it doesn't save it to the DB. How can I fix this?
Here are the models in question:
a. Comment model:
class Comment(models.Model):
heading = models.CharField(max_length=55, verbose_name="Subject")
body = models.TextField(verbose_name="Comment Here")
comment_pubdate = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True,
verbose_name="Date Added")
poster = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, editable=False)
content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType, related_name="comments")
object_id = models.PositiveIntegerField()
content_object = generic.GenericForeignKey('content_type', 'object_id')
b. The CommentForm
class CommentForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Comment
fields = ('heading', 'body')
c. The postcomment() view:
def postcomment(request, object_id, object_link):
ct = ContentType.objects.get(id=obj_id)
post = ct.get_object_for_this_type(link=obj_link)
if request.method=="POST" and not(request.user.is_anonymous):
poster = request.user
my_comment = Comment(content_object=post, poster=poster)
comment_form = CommentForm(request.POST, instance=my_comment)
if comment_form.is_valid():
comment_form.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect(post.get_absolute_url())
else:
# Placeholder for testing if there was an error with
the form
return HttpResponse("Error!")
else:
comment_form = CommentForm()
return HttpResponseRedirect(post.get_absolute_url())
When I render the BlogPost page (from another view), it loads without
errors. The BlogPost page's template has (in addition to the rendering
stuff):
<form action="{% url 'blog:postcomment' post.id post.link '%}"
method="post">
(and rest of the <form> stuff)
But when I submit the form, it doesn't process it. Where did I go wrong, in
the view or elsewhere?
Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Muhammad
