I'm new to Django and cannot figure out why my form is not working. It seems that after form submit even though the url is being changed to /82nsj/update it is still going to the index method in the view.
Views
from business.models import Business, Token
from django.shortcuts import render
from business.forms import BusinessForm
def index(request, token):
try:
business = Business.objects.get(token__token=token)
except Token.DoesNotExist:
business = None
except Business.DoesNotExist:
business = None
form = BusinessForm(instance=business)
return render(request, 'business/index.html', {'form': form})
def update(request, token):
try:
business = Business.objects.get(token__token=token)
except Token.DoesNotExist:
business = None
except Business.DoesNotExist:
business = None
form = BusinessForm(request.POST, instance=business)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return render(request, 'business/index.html', {'form': form})
Urls
url(r'^$', 'business.views.index', name='home'),
url(r'^business/(?P<token>\w+)/', 'business.views.index', name='business'),
url(r'^business/(?P<token>\w+)/update/', 'business.views.update', name='business_update'),
Forms
self.helper = FormHelper(self)
self.helper.form_class = 'form-horizontal'
self.helper.form_action = 'update/'
self.helper.form_method = 'post'
self.helper.layout = Layout(
HTML("<p class='alert-info alert'>Please confirm your business contact information is updated and correct.</p>"),
Div(
'my',
'fields',
FormActions(
Submit('save_changes', 'Save changes', css_class="btn-primary"),
),
css_class='row-fluid'
)
)
I know this isn't working because I have breakpoints setup in my index and in my update and after I press the submit button only the index breakpoint is being reached.
What am I doing wrong that is preventing the update method from running on form submit?
