Django view receives GET Request from form that should be sending POST
django, forms, get, post
Solution
It is probably sending a `POST` however, you are not listening correctly.
if request.method == ['POST']:
should be
if request.method == 'POST':
Or just
if request.POST:
One more thing.
You can use the `@login_required` decorator instead of manually checking for authenticated users.
Problem
I have a view that is supposed to handle the submission of a form. The HTML form in the template is supposed to be sending a post however the view only ever receives a GET request. View: ``` def eventSell(request, id): event = Event.objects.get(pk = id) if request.user.is_authenticated(): print request.user if request.method == ['POST']: print 'post' form = ListingForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): print 'form is valid' user = request.user price = request.POST['price'] t = Object(event = event, price = price, seller = user, date_listed = timezone.now()) t.save() return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('app:index')) else: print 'get' form = ListingForm() return render_to_response('app/list.html', {'form' : form, 'event' : event}, context_instance = RequestContext(request)) else: return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('allauth.accounts.views.login')) ``` Template: ``` <form action="" method="post"> {% csrf_token %} {{ form }} <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> ``` I'm really stumped here so any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks.
