I am trying to get the POST values of an .html page that has included pages via {% include %} in Django. However, it returns only the POST from the initial html page.
My inner html that is included has the snippet of code:
div id="edit_parameters">Edit Parameters</div>
<div data-id="{{job.slug}}" id="{{job.slug}}" class="collapse">
<form class = "form-inline" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
{% for parameter in job.get_object.parameters %}
<p>
<input type="text" class="input-small" name="{{parameter}}" value="" id ="{{parameter}}-input" placeholder="{{parameter}}">
</p>
{% endfor %}
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary run-job">Submit</button>
</form>
</div>
{% else %}
<div>
No editable parameters for this job.
</div>
{% endif %}
And my outer HTML file has a snippet:
<ul id="available-jobs">
{% if jobs_same_io_type and jobs_diff_io_type %}<h3> Current Step </h3>
{% elif jobs_same_io_type %} <h3> Next Step </h3> {% endif %}
{% for job in jobs_same_io_type %}
{% include "includes/job_li.html" with add=1 %}
{% endfor %}
{% if jobs_diff_io_type %} <h3> Next Step </h3> {% endif %}
{% for job in jobs_diff_io_type %}
{% include "includes/job_li.html" with add=1 %}
{% endfor %}
{% if not jobs_same_io_type and not jobs_diff_io_type %}
<li class="full-height">There are no more available jobs.</li>
{% endif %}
</ul>
<fieldset class="submit">
{% csrf_token %}
<input type="hidden" name="job_to_run" value="" id="job-to-run" />
<input type="hidden" name="workflow_jobs" value="" id="ordered-jobs" />
<input type="hidden" name="job_to_edit" value="" id="job-to-edit" />
<input type="hidden" name="job_to_add" value="" id="job-to-add" />
<input type="hidden" name="job_to_remove" value="" id="job-to-remove" />
<input type="submit" name="done" value="I'm done, start the jobs" id="jobs-ready" />
</fieldset>
The everything that shows in post is in the inputs of the second snippet. But the parameters I want for the first snippet are not included when I use request.POST for all of the POST values.
Any help would be greatly appreciated in explaining why I am not getting the values from the included page and finding a possible solution. Thanks!
In HTML, only the fields in the form element that contain the submit button are included in the POST. the fields in your second file don't seem to be in any form at all, so they will never be posted.

I am new to Django. I just want to build an online resume based on the details given by the user.
I have separate HTML files for taking the user input and for displaying the resume.
I took the user input for the certification field like this:
<div class="box"><input type="text" name="certificate1" placeholder="Certificate-name"> <input type="text" name="institute1" placeholder="Institute-name"></div><br>
<div class="box"><input type="text" name="certificate2" placeholder="Certicate-name"> <input type="text" name="institute2" placeholder="Institute-name"></div><br>
<div class="box"><input type="text" name="certificate3" placeholder="Certicate-name"> <input type="text" name="institute3" placeholder="Institute-name"></div><br>
<div class="box"><input type="text" name="certificate4" placeholder="Certicate-name"> <input type="text" name="institute4" placeholder="Institute-name"></div><br>
<div class="box"><input type="text" name="certificate5" placeholder="Certificate-name"> <input type="text" name="institute5" placeholder="Institute-name"></div><br>
<div class="box"><input type="text" name="certificate6" placeholder="Certicate-name"> <input type="text" name="institute6" placeholder="Institute-name"></div><br>
And the code which I have written in views.py file is this:
if(request.method=="POST"):
dictionary = {str(i):request.POST[i].capitalize() for i in request.POST}
return render(request,"form/resume.html",dictionary)
And the code which I have written for displaying certifications in the resume is this:
{% if certificate1 %}
<li>{{certificate1}}, {{institute1}}</li>
{% endif %}
{% if certificate2 %}
<li>{{certificate2}}, {{institute2}}</li>
{% endif %}
{% if certificate3 %}
<li>{{certificate3}}, {{institute3}}</li>
{% endif %}
{% if certificate4 %}
<li>{{certificate4}}, {{institute4}}</li>
{% endif %}
{% if certificate5 %}
<li>{{certificate5}}, {{institute5}}</li>
{% endif %}
{% if certificate6 %}
<li>{{certificate6}}, {{institute6}}</li>
{% endif %}
But I feel the code that I have written in displaying certifications in resume [2nd code] is not efficient. Is there any other way of writing the 2nd code? I want to know, how can we use for loop if possible. Or is there any other way? Thanks in advance for your valuable answers.
You can group all your data in one array and pass them in your render function so you could iterate it in your Jinja template
Send certificates as a list to template like this:
certificates = [
{ "certificate": certificate1, "institute": institute1},
{ "certificate": certificate2, "institute": institute2}
]
Then in template, display it like this:
{% for c in certificates %}
<li>{{c.certificate}}, {{c.institute}}</li>
{% endfor %}
Try to use arrays so you can easily iterate through it.
or if you just want to write in that way
use string concatenation for the variable name like:
{% for x in '123456' %}
{% with y=forloop.counter|stringformat:"s" %}
{% with names="certificate"|add:y %}
{% if names %}
<li> {{name}} </li>
{% endif %}
{% endwith %}
{% endwith %}
{% endfor %}

How can I concatenate forloop.counter to a string in my django template
Here is a seemingly simple task, creating a form using a set of records so the user can choose which record to go for, all using a radio button.
<form action="" method="GET">{% csrf_token %}
{% for record in select_records %}
<div class="form-check indent-3">
<label class="form-check-label" for="radio{{forloop.counter}}">
<input type="radio" class="form-check-input" id="radio{{forloop.counter}}" name="{{record.get_model_name}}{{record.id}}" value="{{record.record_name}}">
{% if request.user.userprofile.head_shot_thumb %}
<img src="{{ request.user.userprofile.head_shot_thumb }}" alt="Proforma creator">
{% else %}
<div class="h2-li ">
<i class="fas fa-user"></i>
</div>
{% endif %}
{{ record.record_name }} - {{ record.date_created }}
</label>
</div>
{% endfor %}
The problem is that the form creates a list of radio buttons which are all selectable, just like how all the checkboxes are selectable.
I have searched and compared my code to simple radio forms such as the one at W3schools, but I cannot figure it out. Any help is appreciated.
I did small changes in your code. Check it below.
<form action="" method="GET">
{% csrf_token %}
{% for record in select_records %}
<div class="form-check indent-3">
<label class="form-check-label" for="radio{{forloop.counter}}">
<input type="radio" class="form-check-input" id="radio{{forloop.counter}}" name="record-option" value="{{record.record_name}}">
{% if request.user.userprofile.head_shot_thumb %}
<img src="{{ request.user.userprofile.head_shot_thumb }}" alt="Proforma creator">
{% else %}
<div class="h2-li ">
<i class="fas fa-user"></i>
</div>
{% endif %}
{{ record.record_name }} - {{ record.date_created }}
</label>
</div>
{% endfor %}
</form>
I hope this will help you. :)
I am getting no value on request in flask. It is returning None value.
I have tried changing the method but no use.
The flask code:
#app.route("/login/user/book")
def searchbook():
bookname=request.form.get("search")
return render_template("message.html",heading=bookname ,message=" ")
The webpage:
{% extends "layout.html" %}
{% block heading %}Welcome to BookSarkar{% endblock %}
{% block body %}
<p>Welcome {{ name }}</p>
<form action="{{ url_for('searchbook') }}" method="get" class="form-group">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" name="search" class="form-control col-md-6 mt-5 mx-auto" placeholder="Search books">
<p style="text-align:center;">
<button type ="submit" class="btn btn-primary mt-2 mx-auto">Search</button>
</p>
</div>
</form>
<div class="fixed-top m-2">
<a class="btn btn-outline-primary" href="{{ url_for('logout') }}" role="button" style="float:right;">Log out</a>
</div>
{% endblock %}
The message webpage:
{% extends "layout.html" %}
{% block heading %}{{ heading }}{% endblock %}
{% block body %}
{{ message }}
<a class="btn btn-primary" href="{{ url_for('index') }}" role="button">Return to Home Page</a>
{% endblock %}
The layout page has no bugs as all other pages are working fine. I expected the webpage to show the given input but it is showing None
request.form contains values submitted via post or put, while your form uses get. Try using request.args.get("search") instead of request.form.get("search")
I'm learning django and python and I want to know how to indent this code properly. How should it be done?
{% block content %}
<h2>Nyinkommet</h2>
{% if request.GET.sorting == 'desc' %}
<form method="get" action=".">
<input type="hidden" name="sorting" value="asc">
<input type="submit" value="Visa äldsta ärende först">
</form>
{% else %}
<form method="get" action=".">
<input type="hidden" name="sorting" value="desc">
<input type="submit" value="Visa nyaste ärende först">
</form>
{% endif %}
You could use the template tags {{ sortvalue }} to check the value and set the specific attribute value.
You could achieve it somewhere as:
my_template.html
{% block content %}
<h2>Nyinkommet</h2>
<form method="post" action="/postingUrl">
<input type="hidden" name="sorting" value="{{ sortvalue }}">
<input type="submit" value="Visa äldsta ärende först">
</form>
{% endblock %}
Pass the sortvalue in the rendering of template:
The view that returns "my_template.html":
def get_home_page(request):
sortvalue = "asc" # Calculate what value you want, (asc or desc)
return render_to_response('my_template.html',
{ 'sortvalue' : sortvalue },
context_instance=RequestContext(request))
Code indentation comes down to personal preference. As long as your code is readable it is up to you and those you work with; do what you want.
For ideas and general good practises you should look through the django documentation. It is contributed to by x00's of developers and will give you a good idea of formatting and best practices.
Personally I would indent the elements inside the forms. I also try to keep all HTML dom elements at the same nesting level as their siblings even when using django template operations.
{% block content %}
<h2>Nyinkommet</h2>
{% if request.GET.sorting == 'desc' %}
<form method="get" action=".">
<input type="hidden" name="sorting" value="asc">
<input type="submit" value="Visa äldsta ärende först">
</form>
{% else %}
<form method="get" action=".">
<input type="hidden" name="sorting" value="desc">
<input type="submit" value="Visa nyaste ärende först">
</form>
{% endif %}
One small improvement you could make to the code is the following:
{% block content %}
<h2>Nyinkommet</h2>
<form method="get" action=".">
{% if request.GET.sorting == 'desc' %}
<input type="hidden" name="sorting" value="asc">
{% else %}
<input type="hidden" name="sorting" value="desc">
{% endif %}
<input type="submit" value="Visa äldsta ärende först">
</form>
{% endblock content %}
how can I get rid of users being directed to the “Thanks you
for your comment” page after commenting in Django site? I want users to be
redirected to the same page they commented. I’m using Django
comments.
I’ve tried adding:
<input type=”hidden” name=”next” value=”"{% url
django.contrib.comments.views.comments.comment_done %}" />
But it’s not working. Below is codes in my comment/form.html
{% load comments %}
{% get_comment_count for sol as comment_count %}
{% get_comment_list for sol as comment_list %}
{% get_comment_form for sol as form %}
{% if user.is_authenticated %}
<form action="{% comment_form_target %}" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
{% if next %}<input type="hidden" name="next" value="{% url
django.contrib.comments.views.comments.comment_done %}" />{% endif %}
{% for field in form %}
{% if field.is_hidden %}
{{ field }}
{% else %}
{% if field.name != "name" and field.name != "email"
and field.name != "url" %}
{% if field.errors %}{{ field.errors }}{% endif %}
{{ field }}
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
<input class="submit-post" name="post" type="submit" value="Comment" />
</form>
{% else %}
I'm sorry, but you must be <a href="javascript:alert('send to
login page')">logged in</a> to submit comments.
{% endif %}
First let's review your code:
<input type=”hidden” name=”next” value=”"{% url
django.contrib.comments.views.comments.comment_done %}" />
Two double quotes: value=”"{% url
The url is comment_done: so this will redirect to the "Thank you for your comment page", which you want to avoid
Use url names instead of module name: {% url comments-comment-done %} rather than {% url django.contrib.comments.views.comments.comment_done %}
Instead, you can redirect the comment poster to the absolute url of the object he commented:
<input type="hidden" name="next" value="{{ form.instance.content_object.get_absolute_url }}" />
This assume that your model has the standard get_absolute_url() method defined.
Or even, you can redirect the user to the very same page he's on:
<input type="hidden" name="next" value="{{ request.path }}" />
Or the previous page he visited:
<input type="hidden" name="next" value="{{ request.META.HTTP_REFERER }}" />
