I get the following Error Exception AddHotelForm.Meta.fields cannot be a string. Did you mean to type: ('name',)?
Request Method: GET Request URL: 8000/hotel/new Django Version: 1.6.2 Exception Type: TypeError Exception Value:
AddHotelForm.Meta.fields cannot be a string. Did you mean to type: ('name',)?
Exception Location: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/forms/models.py in new, line 261
I Seem not to get it I'have checked it several times and don't seem to find a solution to it.
views.py
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from forms import AddHotelForm
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
from django.core.context_processors import csrf
from hotel.models import hotel
def create(request):
if request.POST:
form = AddHotelForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/articles/all/')
else:
form = AddHotelForm()
args = {}
args.update(csrf(request))
args['form'] = form
return render_to_response('add_hotel.html', args)

So the problem seems to be exactly what is stated in the error message.
Your problem is that this:
("name")
is not the same as this:
("name",)
Try it:
>>> type(("name"))
<type 'str'>
>>> type(("name",))
<type 'tuple'>
So to fix it change your form definition:
class AddHotelForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
models = hotel # This should be "model" not "models".
fields = ('name',)
