There is not enough information regarding the issue you are asking, give more info like your views code, html code or forms code if you are using django forms.

I am sorry for not adding the proper quotes. this is my code with the quotes

Mukelabai01:

def create_appointment(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = AppointmentForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            # Log the form data
            print(form.cleaned_data)

In this part of code are you getting the print statement print(form.cleaned_data) executed like are you getting cleaned_data in terminal?

Mukelabai01 · June 27, 2023, 7:15am

no i don’t get the cleaned data in my terminal

addwebsolution · June 27, 2023, 7:23am

so after if condition put else condition which is like

else:
    print(form.errors)

and see if it gives anything

Mukelabai01 · June 27, 2023, 7:34am

after changing that,

def create_appointment(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = AppointmentForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
        
        else:
         print(form.errors)
   
        return render(request, 'success_view')
    else:
        form = AppointmentForm()

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

fix the indentation for this

You are rendering this form to index.html, are you opening the APPOINMENT MODAL at index.html. If yes than instead of action="{% url 'create_appointment' %}" this, try action="." this

addwebsolution · June 27, 2023, 8:23am

In your view success_view what does it refers to, also you can use redirect instead of render if form is submitted like return redirect(".") to redirect at same page.

Mukelabai01 · June 27, 2023, 8:32am

success_view is a view function that contains success.html

also, is this what you mean? by return redirect(".") to redirect at same page.

def create_appointment(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = AppointmentForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
        
        else:
         print(form.errors)
   
        return redirect(".")
    else:
     form = AppointmentForm()

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

addwebsolution · June 27, 2023, 9:19am

If this is a view then pass the url that you have created for this view like redirect("/success")

Yes

Mukelabai01 · June 27, 2023, 9:37am

def create_appointment(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = AppointmentForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
        
        else:
         print(form.errors)
   
        return redirect("/success")
    else:
     form = AppointmentForm()

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

is this how you mean?

addwebsolution · June 27, 2023, 9:43am

You didn’t get the point.
You have created this success_view view and for that in urls.py you might have created a url in urlpatterns and pointed success_view to that particular url. I’m just giving example for this redirect("/success"). You have to use that url that you have created for success_view

Mukelabai01 · June 27, 2023, 9:45am

if it is, when i runserver and fill in the form and click submit, I get
[27/Jun/2023 02:38:59] “GET / HTTP/1.1” 200 145428
[27/Jun/2023 02:39:07] “GET / HTTP/1.1” 200 145428

[27/Jun/2023 02:40:21] “POST / HTTP/1.1” 200 145428 in my browser, I navigated to admin panel but in Appointments, nothing is being saved

Mukelabai01 · June 27, 2023, 9:48am

okay I get you now and that’s the url in my urls.py. here are my urls

from django import views
from django.urls import path
from .views import *






urlpatterns = [
    path('', home, name='home'),
    path('about/', about, name='about'),
    path('services/', services, name='services'),
    path('pricing/', pricing, name='pricing'),
    path('contact/', contact, name='contact'),
    path('success/', success_view, name='success_view'),
    path('create_appointment/', create_appointment, name='create_appointment'),
    
   
]

addwebsolution · June 27, 2023, 9:58am

I’ve seen in views,py for both home and create_appointment views you are using index.html, In your browser what is the url when you open the form within Modal template like is it http://127.0.0.1:8000/ or http://127.0.0.1:8000/create_appointment

Mukelabai01 · June 27, 2023, 10:00am

it is http://127.0.0.1:8000/
