I can't figure out how to save my form data creating a new row, when saving it just rewrites the data using the same id
and trhows me an error when there are multiple rows, this is my code:
models.py:
class Submitter(models.Model):
submitter=models.ForeignKey(User)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.submitter.username
class Store(models.Model):
creator=models.ForeignKey(Submitter)
name = models.CharField(_('name'),blank=True,max_length=30)
st = models.CharField(_('Street'),blank=True,max_length=30)
sub_date = models.DateField(_('Visit Date'),)
def __str__(self):
return u'%s-%s-%s'%(self.creator,self.name,self.sub_date)
views.py:
def StoreSave(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = StoreForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
submitter, dummy= Creator.objects.get_or_create(creator=request.user)
store, created = Store.objects.get_or_create(
submitter=submitter
)
store.name = form.cleaned_data['name']
store.st = form.cleaned_data['st']
store.visit_date = form.cleaned_data['visit_date']
store.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/user/%s/' % request.user.username)
else:
form = StoreForm()
variables = RequestContext(request, {
'form': form
})
return render_to_response('store/create_store.html', variables)
If you want to create a new row, create it. :-) Like
store = Store(submitter=submitter,
name=form.cleaned_data['name'],
st=form.cleaned_data['st'],
store.visit_date=form.cleaned_data['visit_date'])
store.save()
Now you use get_or_create
method which tries to find a row with given parameters, so that's why you updating it. And this method throws an error when there are multiple rows, yes, it's its normal behavior.
By the way it's better to place this saving code in form's method (save
for example).
P. S. Just noticed you don't have visit_date
field in your model, I think you meant sub_date
.
