The add_view would need to be added to your urls.

I added the add_view to teh urls.py

from django.conf.urls import patterns, url

from oneidentry import views

urlpatterns = patterns('',

url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),

url(r'^$', views.add_view, name='add_view'),

But received an error that the view was not defined. I placed the code above into a new forms.py file:

from django import ModelForm

from oneidentry.models import Hardwareid

class HardwareidForm(forms.ModelForm):

     class Meta:

        model = Hardwareid

        fields = ['hardwareid_text']

def add_view(request):

    form = HardwareidForm()

    if request.method == 'POST':

        form = HardwareidForm(request.POST)

        if form.is_valid():

            the_new_entry = form.save()

            return redirect()  # wherever you want to go next

    return render(request, 'base_site.html', {'form': form})

Is that correct? Or does this belong in views.py?
