I finally managed to POST data from a form to a database in django, however when I press the submit button on my form I get the error:
Request Method:     POST
Request URL:    http://127.0.0.1:8000/post_url/
Django Version:     1.11.2
Exception Type:     NameError
Exception Value:    
name 'HttpResponseRedirect' is not defined
Exception Location:     /home/xxxx/Desktop/123/src/exercises/views.py in post_treasure, line 26
Python Executable:  /home/xxxx/Desktop/123/bin/python
Relevant views.py:
def post_treasure(request):
    form = TreasureForm(request.POST)
    if form.is_valid():
        treasure = Treasure(name = form.cleaned_data['name'],
                            value = form.cleaned_data['value'],
                            material = form.cleaned_data['material'],
                            location = form.cleaned_data['location'],
                            img_url = form.cleaned_data['img_url'])
        treasure.save()
    return HttpResponseRedirect('/numbers/')
Relevant urls.py:
urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^post_url/', post_treasure, name='post_treasure'),
    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
    url(r'^numbers/', numbers, name="numbers"),
    url(r'^about/', about, name="about")
]
Other note:
you need to import HttpResponseRedirect
so at the top
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
                        You need to import that first:
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
def post_treasure(request):
    form = TreasureForm(request.POST)
    if form.is_valid():
        treasure = Treasure(name = form.cleaned_data['name'],
                        value = form.cleaned_data['value'],
                        material = form.cleaned_data['material'],
                        location = form.cleaned_data['location'],
                        img_url = form.cleaned_data['img_url'])
        treasure.save()
    return HttpResponseRedirect('/numbers/')
