Re: problem with saving a form

I'm trying to make a ModelForm in order to edit an existing object of the class 'member'. So I followed this documentation:

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/modelforms/#the-save-method

  # Create a form to edit an existing Article. >>> a = Article.objects.get(pk=1) >>> f = ArticleForm(instance=a) >>> f.save() 

The form is displayed correctly, however it doesn't work properly, as it does not save the data neither validate the fields (for instance it does not check the e-mail is an e-mail). It doesn't report any error though, so im not sure what could have gone wrong.

Can anyone enlighten me?

This is my view: 

@login_required()

def edit_member(request):

    """ edit member information """

    Member=member.objects.get(id=request.user.id)    

    title = "Edit member " + Member.name

    if request.method == 'POST':

        form = MemberForm(request.POST, instance=Member)

        if form.is_valid(): 

            form.save()

            return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('list_member')) 

    else:

        form = MemberForm(instance=Member) 

    

    if request.user.is_authenticated():

        return render_to_response('generic_form.html', locals(),

            context_instance=RequestContext(request))

    return render_to_response('list_member.html', locals())

It seems that the condition request.method == 'POST' is never true :( whyy??
