model.py
class Venue(models.Model):
venue_Name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
place = models.CharField(max_length=50)
rent = models.IntegerField()
parking_area = models.IntegerField()
class Decoration(models.Model):
rate = models.IntegerField()
I have printed the values in database as radio buttons what i want to do is that i want to get the total sum i.e venue.rent + decoration.rate and print it in another page What shoud i give in form action I'm not that familiar with forms.
html
<form action="{% %}" method="post">
{% for venue in venues %}
<input type="radio" name=venue value=venue.rent />{{ venue.venue_Name}}
{% endfor %}
{% for decoration in decorations %}
<input type="radio" name=decor value=decoration.rate />{{ decoration.rating }}
{% endfor %}
<input type="submit" value=" " />
</form>
what should i write in view and urls to get the sum
You can use Django's form for validation and parsing. For that you would set up a form like so:
forms.py
from django import forms
class TotalSumForm(forms.Form):
venue = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=Venue.objects.all(), required=True)
decoration = forms.ModelChoiceField(
queryset=Decoration.objects.all(), required=True)
def get_total(self):
# send email using the self.cleaned_data dictionary
return self.cleaned_data['venue'].rent +\
self.cleaned_data['decoration'].rate
And then using a class based view, add the result to context upon submission.
views.py
from myapp.forms import TotalSumForm(
from django.views.generic.edit import FormView
class TotalCost(FormView):
template_name = 'your_template.html'
form_class = TotalSumForm
success_url = '/thanks/'
def form_valid(self, form):
# This method is called when valid form data has been POSTed.
total_result = form.get_total()
# return back to your_template.html with the total in context
return self.render_to_response(self.get_context_data(
form=form, total=total_result))
The urls are pretty simple:
urls.py
from django.conf.urls import patterns, url
import myapp.views
urlpatterns = patterns(
'',
url(r'^total_calc/$', myapp.views.TotalCost.as_view(), name='calculate_total'),
)
Your html could be modified like so
your_template.html
<html>
<body>
<h1>TEST SUCCESFULL!</h1>
{% if total %}
<p>Total cost for venue and decoration: {{ total }}</p>
{% endif %}
<form action="{% url 'calculate_total' %}" method="post">
{{ form.as_p }}
<input type="submit" value="Calculate Total" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
