I am making a blog app and I need to give multiple buttons to the user when submitting his blog. I am checking which button is set and trying to do the action accordingly but it is not working properly.
Here is my views portion where I am checking which button is set in the POST data but when I click publish it works fine, but if I click save or publish then i get the error Attribute error 'WSGIRequest' object has no attribute 'Post'
@login_required
def blog_form(request,author_id=None,slug=None):
context_instance=RequestContext(request)
# This view will have a valid creator_id and slug field if the
# blog is being edited and in this case the creator and user should be same
if ( author_id and slug):
author = User.objects.get(pk=author_id)
blog = get_object_or_404(Entry, creator = author, slug = slug)
if blog.creator != request.user:
raise HttpResponseForbidden()
# We set the user and created date and make a new object
else:
blog = Entry(creator=request.user,created_date=datetime.datetime.now() )
if request.method == 'POST':
#if the blog is not published
if 'save' in request.POST:
form = EntryForm(request.Post, instance = blog)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
elif 'publish' in request.POST:
blog.pub_date = datetime.datetime.now()
blog.status = 1
form = EntryForm(request.POST, instance = blog)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return render_to_response('blog/blog_view.html', {'blog': blog,},context_instance=RequestContext(request))
elif 'preview' in request.POST:
form = EntryForm(request.Post, instance = blog)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return render_to_response('blog/blog_view.html', {'blog': blog,},context_instance=RequestContext(request))
else:
form = EntryForm(instance = blog)
return render_to_response('blog/blog.html', {'form':form}, context_instance)
The exception is telling you everything you need to know - there is no attribute "Post" on request. However, there is request.POST
