challenge isnt clear

I cant understand this challenge ? should the Digital instance be a form ?

products/views.py 
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
from django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404,render

from . import forms


def product_form(request):
    form = forms.Digital()
    if request.method == 'POST':
       form = forms.Digital(request.POST) 
       if form.is_valid(): 
            form.save()
            return HttpResponseRedirect('products:create')
    return render(request, 'products/product_form.html', {'form': form})

You are very close! There are 2 issues to solve:

  • use the form DigitalProductForm instead of Digital
  • use reverse in the inner redirect argument
