This does not appear to be the issue, although the indentations are
wrong in the posting. The following is what they really are. What am
I missing? I am still not sure why unit.save() is not working.
def save_unit(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = UnitFormSave(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
unit = Units.objects.create(
serial_number = form.cleaned_data['serial_number'],
build = form.cleaned_data['build'],
model = form.cleaned_data['model'],
source = form.cleaned_data['source'])
unit.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/search/')
else:
form = UnitFormSave()
variables = RequestContext(request, {
'form': form
})
return render_to_response('unit_save.html', variables)
