Django No Reverse Match Error - Nothing is working

When rendering a new page, the html form action on that new page is stopping the page from being rendered... even though it has nothing to do with the page itself being rendered (if I remove that one line of HTML code, the page loads just fine). I've been working on solving this problem for over 3 days, tried hundreds of possible solutions, nothing works. Please help
This is the error:
NoReverseMatch at /newgallery/rodneyadmin

Urls.py:
app_name = 'gallery_app'
urlpatterns = [
path('newgallery/<str:username>', views.newgallery, name='newgallery'),
path('editgallery/<str:username>/<int:gallery_id>', views.editgallery, name='editgallery'),
path('galleryview/<str:username>/<int:gallery_id>', views.galleryview, name='galleryview'),
]

It looks like the url argument new_gallery.id is empty when you render the html template.
update: so the template is called from view newgallery.
In your original code there is 2 things to change:
to instantiate the form please add () after NewGalleryForm. Without you just handover a link to the class.
in this view/template you do not yet have an instance of newgallery (just the form). So you can not use newgaller.id. Implement a POST branch in newgallery to save it and remove newgallery.id from the form action and point the action back to newgallery view.
after saving you have a newgallery instance with an id and you can call the edit view if you need to with newgallery in the context
def newgallery(request, username):
if request.method == 'POST':
# save newgallery here
if request.method == 'GET':
form = NewGalleryForm()
context = {
'form': form,
'username': username,
}
return render(request, 'galleries/newgallery.html', context)
<form action="{% url 'gallery_app:newgallery' user.username %} " style .... >

You need to pass the gallery as context into the view that has the edit form. I don't see in the views that you posted that you have a detail view but I do see a detail view url. So I'm assuming you're passing the edit form to your create view instead? That view doesn't return a context with new_gallery as a context variable. I would create a detail view for your gallery instead and pass the edit form, user and gallery as context to the template.
Reverse for 'editgallery' with arguments '('rodneyadmin', '')' not found.
New context
def galleryview(request, username, gallery_id):
# Logic
gallery = get_object_or_404(Gallery, pk=gallery_id)
context = {
'form': form,
'username': username,
'new_gallery': gallery,
}
# return an html response with context
Also, when you instantiate an unbound form you should add parenthesis after it.
form = NewGalleryForm()

Django Form POST problem in a Bootstrap Modal

I'm searching for this issue for days... And, unfortunately, couldn't find the answer.
I have a view (Buildings) and I want to add/edit a Building with a modal. With my current code, I can add new Building. However, because I can't pass the id (pk) of an existing Building, I can't update it.
I've two views: one for the table, other for the form. I noticed that, when I POST, my Building view posts, not the newBuilding view.
I tried to get pk from kwargs in newBuilding view, but I can't get it in the post method.
The only thing left is to update..
Let me share my code.
Thanks in advance!

Thank You in Advance

Try adding a success_url to your CreateView to redirect you to the homepage
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse_lazy
class Index(generic.CreateView):
template_name='home.html'
form_class=DistributionForm
models=Lecturer
queryset = Lecturer.objects.all()
success_url = reverse_lazy('home')
Otherwise it will redirect you to the model's get_absolute_url path

I think i found your problem, because you are using the get_object() in your post function in your index view.
see code:
def get_object(self, queryset=None):
"""
Return the object the view is displaying.
Require `self.queryset` and a `pk` or `slug` argument in the URLconf.
Subclasses can override this to return any object.
"""
# Use a custom queryset if provided; this is required for subclasses
# like DateDetailView
if queryset is None:
queryset = self.get_queryset()
# Next, try looking up by primary key.
pk = self.kwargs.get(self.pk_url_kwarg)
slug = self.kwargs.get(self.slug_url_kwarg)
if pk is not None:
queryset = queryset.filter(pk=pk)
# Next, try looking up by slug.
if slug is not None and (pk is None or self.query_pk_and_slug):
slug_field = self.get_slug_field()
queryset = queryset.filter(**{slug_field: slug})
# If none of those are defined, it's an error.
if pk is None and slug is None:
raise AttributeError(
"Generic detail view %s must be called with either an object "
"pk or a slug in the URLconf." % self.__class__.__name__
)
try:
# Get the single item from the filtered queryset
obj = queryset.get()
except queryset.model.DoesNotExist:
raise Http404(_("No %(verbose_name)s found matching the query") %
This is the code for get_object(), because you don't have a pk and no slug available. It returns the generic detail view error.
raise AttributeError(
"Generic detail view %s must be called with either an object "
"pk or a slug in the URLconf." % self.__class__.__name__
)
You can delete the def post in your index view because the form_valid() that your are using is already in the create view. You don't need it.

Django Class Based Views and Queries

I am attempting to filter for a single object, more specifically, today's entry. I then want to take that query and display the result within the template. No matter what I do I can't seem to get the filter to display anything in the template. I am not sure whether I need the query to be written within the view, the model, or both. My familiarity with Django querying is pretty light. A great resource on this topic would be extremely helpful as well.
I'm semi-new to Django, so any help you can provide would be much appreciated.
models.py
class Entry(models.Model):
date = models.DateField(blank=True, null=True,)
euros = models.CharField(max_length=500, blank=True, null=True)
comments = models.CharField(max_length=900, blank=True, null=True)
euros_sum = models.DecimalField(max_digits=6, decimal_places=2, blank=True, null=True)
xrate = models.DecimalField(max_digits=6, decimal_places=2, blank=True, null=True)
dollars_sum = models.DecimalField(max_digits=6, decimal_places=2, blank=True, null=True)
daily_savings_dollars = models.DecimalField(max_digits=6, decimal_places=2, blank=True, null=True)
def get_absolute_url(self):
return reverse('argent:detail', kwargs={'pk': self.pk})
views.py:
class IndexView(generic.ListView):
template_name = 'argent/index.html'
context_object_name = 'object_list'
queryset = Entry.objects.all()
filter = Entry.objects.filter(date=today_date)
print(filter)
class DetailView(generic.DetailView):
model = Entry
template_name = 'argent/detail.html'
class EntryCreate(CreateView):
form_class = EntryForm
template_name = 'argent/entry_form.html'
def form_valid(self, form):
return super(EntryCreate, self).form_valid(form)
class EntryUpdate(UpdateView):
model = Entry
form_class = EntryForm
template_name = 'argent/entry_form.html'
def form_valid(self, form):
return super(EntryUpdate, self).form_valid(form)
Note1: When I print "filter =" I get the correct object returned in the console.
Note2: I am using my "queryset =" further down my template and it works
perfectly fine.

Thanks in advance for your help!

You shouldn't do any db interaction at module level. You should override get_queryset (for what will be passed as object_list to the template) and get_context_data if you want additional stuff in your template context like the filtered queryset:
from django.utils import timezone
class IndexView(generic.ListView):
template_name = 'argent/index.html'
context_object_name = 'object_list'
def get_queryset(self):
return Entry.objects.all()
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
ctx = super(IndexView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
ctx['filter'] = Entry.objects.filter(date=timezone.datetime.today())
return ctx
The django documentation in general and its ListView section in particular are a good starting point. The django tutorial is worth completing, as well.

Modify your view to pass one of the querysets in as a context.
class IndexView(generic.ListView):
template_name = 'argent/index.html'
context_object_name = 'object_list'
#queryset = Entry.objects.all() use the get_queryset method to get this
#filter = Entry.objects.filter(date=today_date) add this using the get_context_data method
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(IndexView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
context.update({
'filter': Entry.objects.filter(date=today_date),
})
return context
def get_queryset(self):
return Entry.objects.all()
