i am having difficulty in saving the form data to the database.
After the user submits the form; fields such as ticket_id , created_date,
etc have to be added to the POST request which is generated as a result of
the form submission. I have copied the POST data to another dictionary and
appended the other fields. The form isn't getting validated when the
is_valid() fn is called.
i am attaching the submit function in the views.py file and the forms.py
file
def submit(request):
context=RequestContext(request)
if(request.method=="POST"):
print request.POST
print "________________________\n"
data = request.POST.copy()
#data=request.POST
print "\n"
print request.user.email
data['created_date_time']=datetime.datetime.now()
data['overdue_date_time']=datetime.datetime.now()
Date=datetime.datetime.now()
Enddate=Date+datetime.timedelta(days=1)
data['overdue_date_time']=Enddate
data['closed_date_time']=Enddate
data['status']=0 # 0 means that the ticket is still
open and not yet answered
data['reopened_date_time']=Enddate
data['topic_priority']=2 # 2 is the default priority of
medium
data['duration_for_reply']=24 #in hours
if request.user.is_authenticated():
print request.user
data['user_id']=request.user.email
#returns a user object if the user is logged in.
@login_required is thus necessary
else:
return HttpResponse("you need to be a valid user to
submit a ticket. click <a href=''>here</a> to go to the login page")
#let the help topic remain the same
#category_selected=data['help_topic']
#data['help_topic']=Category.objects.get(category="android")#category_selected)#get
is used to get a single object
from django.db.models import Max
last_ticket=int(Ticket.objects.all().aggregate(Max('ticket_id'))['ticket_id__max'])
data['ticket_id']=last_ticket+1
#if 'submit' in data: del data['submit']
#if 'csrfmiddlewaretoken' in data: del
data['csrfmiddlewaretoken']
#user_form=SubmitTicketForm(data)
print data
user_form=SubmitTicketForm(data)
#how to validate the form for yourself
if user_form.is_valid():
print user_form.cleaned_data
# user_form=Ticket.objects.set(topic_id=data['user_id'])
user_form.save()
return HttpResponse("Saved successfully")
#else:
# print data
# return HttpResponse("Saved unsuccessfully")
# print "the errors are"
# print user_form.errors
else:
user_form=SubmitTicketForm()
return render_to_response(
'submit.html',
{'user_form': user_form},
context)
