django hidden field error
- by dana
hi, there,
i'm building a message system for a virtual community, but i can't take the userprofile id
i have in views.py
def save_message(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = MessageForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
new_obj = form.save(commit=False)
new_obj.sender = request.user
u = UserProfile.objects.get(request.POST['userprofile_id'])
new_obj.owner = u
new_obj.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('.')
else:
form = MessageForm()
return render_to_response('messages/messages.html', {
'form': form,
},
context_instance=RequestContext(request))
and the template:
{% block primary %}
<form action="." method="post">
{{ form.as_p }}
<p><input type="hidden" value="{{ userprofile.id }}" name = "owner" /></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Send Message!" /></p>
</form>
{% endblock %}
forms.py:
class MessageForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Messages
fields = ['message']
models.py:
class Messages(models.Model):
message = models.CharField(max_length = 300)
read = models.BooleanField(default=False)
owner = models.ForeignKey(UserProfile)
sender = models.ForeignKey(User)
I don't figure out why i get this error,since i'm just trying to get the profileId of a user, using a hiddeen field.
the error is:
Key 'UserProfile_id' not found in <QueryDict: {u'owner': [u''], u'message': [u'fdghjkl']}>
and i'm getting it after i fill out the message text field.
Thanks!
