can't save data to the database

[Tosin Ayoola]

halo,
working on a contact us form to receive information from the user but my
issue is the data doesn't get save to the database and i'm not getting any
error message can anyone help out
below is my view an forms.py

[Andréas Kühne]

Hi,

First of all - are you sure that the form is valid? You don't show the
ContactUs model, but I'm guessing that all fields are required? Are they
all filled in?
Second - in the contact method you first check if it is a POST and then
populate with: form = ContactUsForm(request.POST or None).
The "or None" part won't do anything - it will never be called.
Finally - if the form ISN'T valid - the user won't get any response at all?
It'll just go to en empty page?

Regards,

Andréas

Just move the return render part from the get request path to always
return. That way you will get the form with the correct information when
the form isn't valid.

yes the form is valid and the issue is the form doesn't display any error
if the required field are not filled
even when i use just the form = ContactUsForm(request.POST), it still
doesn't work

No, I meant like this:

def Contact(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = ContactUsForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
context = {'form': form}

return redirect('contactus.html')
else:
form = ContactUsForm()

return render(request, 'contactus.html', {'form': form})


Also - the redirect should go to a valid django route - What is the route
that you want to redirect to after a successful posting?

Another thing you should also look into is using class based views instead
of function based views, because then you don't need to write as much code
- but get this working first! :-)

Andréas

you mean i should have it like this
form = ContactUsForm(request.POST)
form.save()
context = {'form': form}
return redirect('contactus.html')
form = ContactUsForm()
return( 'contactus.html', ) or .....
