It’s hard to tell with some of the spacing in your email. Python cares deeply
about spacing.
When initializing a form, I typically do it as so:
form = RegisterForm(request.POST or None)
Also, the save method on the model has several arguments that you are not
passing around.
def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.postcode = self.postcode.upper()
super(Customer, self).save(*args, **kwargs)

Subject: Cannot get this ModelForm view to save to the db, what am I doing
wrong please
Cannot seem to get .save() to write to the db
This is the model
class Customer(models.Model):
email = models.EmailField()
postcode = models.CharField(max_length=10)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.email
def save(self):
self.postcode=upper(self.postcode)
super(Customer, self).save()
This is the view:
class RegisterForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Customer
def register(request):
form = RegisterForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
email = form.cleaned_data['email']
postcode = form.cleaned_data['postcode']
postcode = upper(postcode)
try:
user =
Customer.objects.all().filter(email=email).filter(postcode=postcode)[:1]
if user:
error = "You have already registered this email address and
postcode, please login."
return render_to_response("customer/register_form.html",
{'error': error, 'form': form, 'content':
content,},context_instance=RequestContext(request))
except Customer.DoesNotExist:
cust_obj = Customer(email=email, postcode=postcode)
cust_obj.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/registration-thankyou/')
Also tried
new_user = form.save(commit=False)
new_user.save()
It isn't throwing any errors just not saving to the table
Cheers for any insight/help
