27,883 PointsModel Form Answer - my answers don't save!
Whenever I add an answer and click save, the answer doesn't save. I've run through the video a few times, and have double checked my views.py.
Can anyone spot the issue? Also it wont let me attach my code from workspace so had to copy it in.
answer_form.html -
{% extends "courses/layout.html" %} {% load course_extras %}
{% block title %}New Answer| {{ question.prompt }} | {{ question.quiz.course.title }} {{ block.super }}{% endblock %}
{% block breadcrumbs %} <li><a href="{% url 'courses:detail' pk=question.quiz.course.pk %}">{{ question.quiz.course.title }}</a></li> <li><a href="{% url 'courses:quiz' course_pk=question.quiz.course.pk step_pk=question.quiz.pk %}">{{ question.quiz.title }}</a></li> <li>{{ question.prompt }}</li> {% endblock %}
{% block content %} <div class="row columns"> {{ block.super }} <h1>Add Answer</h1> <form method="POST" action=""> {% csrf_token %} {{ form.as_p }} <input type="submit" class="button" value="Save"> </form> </div> {% endblock %}
answer form part of views.py -
@login_required def answer_form(request, question_pk): question =get_object_or_404(models.Question, pk=question_pk)
form = forms.AnswerForm()
if request.method == 'POST':
form = forms.AnswerForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid:
answer = form.save(commit=False)
answer.question = question
answer.save()
messages.success(request, "Answer added")
return HttpResponseRedirect(question.get_absolute_url())
return render(request, "courses/answer_form.html", {
'question':question,
'form':form
})
Thanks in advance!
