Hello everyone,
I have written a template and view to allow users to change their password.
As soon as it hits the if pForm.is_valid, I get an error that there is a
required field (username) missing - I don't understand why it is asking
for this field, as I have not created it, but am assigning the username
in the view. Could someone please explain what I am missing.
Regards,
Leslie
The View:
class PasswordForm(forms.Form):
password = forms.CharField(max_length=20, widget=forms.PasswordInput())
password2 = forms.CharField(max_length=20, widget=forms.PasswordInput())
@login_required
def Change_Password(request, next='/'):
message = 'Change Password'
pForm = PasswordForm()
if request.method == 'POST':
if request.POST['submit'] == 'Change':
postDict = request.POST.copy()
pForm = LoginForm(postDict)
if pForm.is_valid():
uPass1 = request.POST['password']
uPass2 = request.POST['password1']
if uPass1 == uPass2:
user = get_object_or_404(Employee.objects.get(name__exact
= request.session['uid']))
#user = request.session['uid']
print 'User: ' + user
user.set_password(uPass1)
user.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect(next)
else:
message = 'Passwords dont match'
pForm = PasswordForm()
return render_to_response('employee/change_password.html', {
'pForm': pForm,
'message': message })
The Template:
{% extends "base_template.html" %}
{% block title %} Update Alert {% endblock %}
{% block top_menu %}
<a href="/">Home</a>
{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
<table>
<tr><th><h3>{{message}}</h3></th></tr>
<form action="" method="post">
<tr>{{ pForm }}</tr>
</table>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Change" />
</form>
{% endblock %}
