NOT NULL constraint failed: posts_subscribe.firstname

I am trying to retrieve data from a form using the Post method and store it in the database. However, when I click on the submit button,I keep on getting the following error:
NOT NULL constraint failed: posts_subscribe.firstname
Here is my views.py:
def subscribe(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
firstname=request.POST.get('firstname')
secondname=request.POST.get('secondname')
email=request.POST.get('email')
phonenumber=request.POST.get('phonenumber')
en= Subscribe(firstname=firstname, secondname=secondname, email = email, phonenumber = phonenumber)
en.save()
return redirect('/')
return render(request, 'subscribe.html')
My models.py:
class Subscribe(models.Model):
firstname = models.CharField(max_length=30, blank = True)
secondname = models.CharField(max_length=30, blank = True)
email = models.CharField(max_length=30)
phonenumber = models.IntegerField()
Here is my template:
{% extends 'index.html' %}
{% block subscribe %}
<div class="card mx-5">
<h1 class="mx-5 mt-3"> Subscribe</h1>
<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="subscribe">
{% csrf_token %}
<div class="mb-3 mx-5">
<label for="firstname" class="form-label ">First Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control form-control-lg" id="firstname" placeholder="firstname">
</div>
<div class="mb-3 mx-5">
<label for="secondname" class="form-label">Second Name (Optional)</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control form-control-lg" id="secondname" placeholder="secondname">
</div>
<div class="mb-3 mx-5">
<label for="email" class="form-label">Email</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control form-control-lg" id="email" placeholder="example#example.com">
</div>
<div class="mb-3 mx-5">
<label for="phonenumber" class="form-label">Phonenumber</label>
<input type="number" class="form-control form-control-lg" id="phonenumber" placeholder="0712345678">
</div>
<div class="mb-3 mx-5">
<button type="submit" class="btn-primary"> Subscribe</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
{% endblock %}
And my url patterns:
urlpatterns= [
path('', views.index, name='index'),
path('subscribe', views.subscribe, name ='subscribe'),
path('allposts', views.allposts, name='allposts'),
path('political', views.political, name='political'),
path('religion', views.religion, name='religion'),
path('trending', views.trending, name='treniding'),
path('<str:pk>', views.post, name='post'),
]

You should add a name="…" attribute [mdn] to the <input> elements, so:
<input type="text" name="firstname" class="form-control form-control-lg" id="firstname" placeholder="firstname">
…
<input type="text" name="secondname" class="form-control form-control-lg" id="secondname" placeholder="secondname">
…
<input type="email" name="email" class="form-control form-control-lg" id="email" placeholder="example#example.com">
…
<input type="number" name="phonenumber" class="form-control form-control-lg" id="phonenumber" placeholder="0712345678">

Cannot assign "'1'": "staff.staff_type" must be a "staff_type" instance. Django Error in OneToOne field

I am working on a small django-python project which has two models "staff_type" and "staff". In the staff_type model, only designation and date fields are populated. And in the staff model, there is OneToOneField relation of staff_type. Means whenever a user want to add staff first he/she will have to add staff_type and then in the staff module, user will choose the staff type (designation) from a select menu in which all the staff_type are shown respectively.
Now, whenever a user select any designation (staff_type) and fill the entire form, I want to store the selected staff_type id in the staff model/table.
Note: I have tried this from django admin, and it works perfectly but I want to do the same work in my own designed templates.
Modles.py

I tried my best at the above code but it gives me the error.
Error
Exception Value:
Cannot assign "'1'": "staff.staff_type" must be a "staff_type" instance.

staff_type in staff model must be staff_type model instance so first get model instance
s_type = staff_type.objects.get(id=request.POST.get('stafftype'))
staff.objects.create(...,staff_type=s_type)
Or you can also assign fk directly like this.
staff.objects.create(staff_type_id=request.POST.get('stafftype'))
And please try to follow PEP8 standards for writing python codes.
Note: It's better using django forms and Also you can use built-in generic class-based views which will make your things easier.

The problem is that you are sending number to Staff model into the field "staff_type". You either need to cast it to staff_type, or put an instance there

Nothing returned when editing profile page

Trying to edit a profile using a form I have that should allow a user to edit her first name, last name and email. Problem is when I try editing the form nothing happens. Still trying to learn Django so could be something I am missing/not getting right.

html form:

</div>
</div>
</form>
and forms.py
class MentorProfileForm(forms.Form):
class Meta:
widgets = {
'first_name': forms.TextInput(attrs={'class':'form-control'}),
'last_name': forms.TextInput(attrs={'class':'form-control'}),
'email': forms.EmailInput(attrs={'class':'form-control'})
}
With these changes I cannot interact with the form. I cannot click the textboxes available.
Here is a sample of what i am seeing

You should render the inputs using the form field elements themselves
Instead of this
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="edit-mentor-profile-first_name" placeholder= {{ user.first_name }}>
Use this
{{ form.first_name }}
If you need to add the class to the input then in your model form add the class attribute to the field's widget
class Meta:
widgets = {
'first_name': forms.TextInput(attrs={'class': 'form-control'})
}

Update in django

I am new to django and I want to make an update view but I can't succeed.
I have this page that shows information about a user, and when I press the 'Update My Profile' button I want to update or save(i.e if I change 'Laszlo' with 'Lucy' I want to update it and if I write in the 'nickname' input: 'NICKNAME' I want to save that infomartion into de dababase so next time when I access this page to show me all the information about the user)
My models: 'UserProfile'(which is the 'User') and 'User_Details'(they are in 1-1 relationship)
class UserProfile(AbstractUser):
pass
class User_Details(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(UserProfile, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank = True)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=True)
gender = models.CharField(max_length=6, blank=True, default='')
image = models.ImageField(upload_to='avatar_image', blank=True, null=True)
public_info=models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=False, default='')
nickname=models.CharField(max_length=100,blank=True,default="")
website=models.CharField(max_length=100,blank=True,default="")
My view to show the information:
class ShowProfile(APIView):
renderer_classes = [TemplateHTMLRenderer]
template_name = 'profile.html'
def get(self, request, pk, format=None):
details = UserProfile.objects.get(id=pk)
serializer = UserProfileSerializer(details)
pprint.pprint(json.loads(JSONRenderer().render(serializer.data)))
return Response({'seri':serializer.data})
Serializers:

I tried to make this(into the 'ShowProfile' view) :

serializer.update(validated_data=dict(post))
return HttpResponseRedirect('/account/login.html')

firstname = validated_data.pop('user_details.firstname')[0]
lastname = validated_data.pop('user_details.lastname')[0]
user.user_details.firstname = firstname
user.user_details.lastname = lastname
# if avatar:
# user.user_details.avatar = avatar
# if password != '':
# user.set_password(password)
user.user_details.save()
user.save()
return user
And in template I change the '' with this:
<form action="{% url 'show_profile' pk=user.id %}" method="PUT" enctype="multipart/form-data">
I don't know how to make to work?How can I do it?Thank you!

The problem is in <form action="{% url 'show_profile' pk=user.id %}" method="PUT" enctype="multipart/form-data">. There is no method PUT in html tag form. You have to use javascript to send such request.
P.S. it is possible to send put-like request using form, but it will look ugly and it wont be REST

Django post method returns only blank values for checkboxes

I have tried to look around for this specific query on SO, but could not find one.
I am new to Django and am using version 1.10 and python 3.4.
For the checkboxes I am using them in the template itself.
For some reason I am hesitant in using the checkbox widget in the forms.py file, I think it will disturb my existing UI(please correct me if I am wrong).
When I submit the form, the template returns blank quotes for the number of checkboxes I have ticked.
Here is my model:
class UsrGrpMaster(models.Model):
SrNo =models.IntegerField(unique=True)
UsrGrpID = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
GrpName = models.CharField(max_length=50)
Purch = models.BooleanField(default=False)
PurchMod = models.BooleanField(default=False)
Sales = models.BooleanField(default=False)
SalesMod = models.BooleanField(default=False)
Stock = models.BooleanField(default=False)
StockMod = models.BooleanField(default=False)
JV = models.BooleanField(default=False)
JVMod = models.BooleanField(default=False)
DelPurch = models.BooleanField(default=False)
DelSales = models.BooleanField(default=False)
DelJV = models.BooleanField(default=False)
class Meta:
db_table = "UsrGrpMaster"
Here is my template:

Here is the browser and console clipping. Checked 9 boxes and submit shows 9 empty quotes.

I want the form to provide me the value property of the checked boxes so I can store them in the database. Please guide me as to how to achieve this (with or without using forms.py).
Here is the Javascript:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('form').submit(function() {
if ($.trim($('input[name="grpname"]').val()) === "") {
$('input[name="grpname"]').css({'background-color' : '#ffe5e5'});
return false;
}
});
$('input').focusin(function() {
$(this).css({'background-color' : '#ffffff'});
});
$('input').blur(function() {
if ($.trim($(this).val()) === "") {
$(this).css({'background-color' : '#ffe5e5'});
}
});
});
