Re: Save data from form

Hi Aptem,

Your questions is not clearly what exactly do you want, where are you stuck, specifically,
Check this it might assist you https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/forms/

this is a very basic example if you have an organization mode below

models.py

class Organization(models.Model):

name = models.CharField(max_length=25)

create a forms module and add this
form.py
class NameForm(form.Form):

name = forms.CharField(max_length=25)

 

 view.py

import the model and form to you view

def organization_save(request):      # if this is a POST request we need to process the form data      if request.method == 'POST':          # create a form instance and populate it with data from the request:          form = NameForm(request.POST)          # check whether it's valid:          if form.is_valid():              # process the data in form.cleaned_data as required

cleaned_name = form.cleaned_data['name']

            # save form if its new organization creation

 organization = Organization.objects.create(name=cleaned_name)

        # if its an existing organizanization

organization = Organization.objects.get(id='the id of the organization')
organization .name = cleaned_name

organization .save()

            # redirect to a new URL:              return HttpResponseRedirect('/thanks/')        # if a GET (or any other method) we'll create a blank form      else:          form = NameForm()        return render(request, 'name.html', {'form': form})

there is an easier way of doing this by use of modelforms check this out  https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/forms/modelforms/

Hope it assists you.

Eddilbert Macharia.
