'NoneType' object has no attribute 'strip' - Slugify

I have a problem with my model in the line of slugify

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.template.defaultfilters import slugify

# Create your models here.
class Pages(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    slug = models.SlugField(blank=True)
    content =  models.TextField(blank=True)
    publish_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    update_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
    order =  models.IntegerField(default=0)
    type_content = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    user = models.ForeignKey(User)  
    status =models.IntegerField(default=1)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.title   


    def save(self,  *args, **kwargs):

        if not self.slug:
            self.slug = slugify(self.title)

        #self.user=self.request.user
        super(Pages, self).save( *args, **kwargs)

I tried putting the code self.slug = slugify("test of slug") and still the problem , but when he says keeps the information without problems

this is my Error:

You can use django signals to solve this issue. Try adding the following code at the end of your models.py

from django.db.models.signals import pre_save
from django.dispatch import receiver

@receiver(pre_save, sender=Pages)
def pre_save_pages(sender, instance, *args, **kwargs):
    if not instance.u_id:
        instance.slug = slugify(instance.title)

This error means that title property of the created model doesn't have a value, you need to make sure that your Page instance has the required attribute before you slugify its title.

the following code is a good workaround, but you still need to know why your model doesn't have a title when it is being saved.

...
class Pages(models.Model):
    ...
    def save(self,  *args, **kwargs):
        if self.title and not self.slug:
            self.slug = slugify(self.title)
     ...

An optimal solution for you is to use Django Autoslug library which will save you from all the hassle of setting a value for your slug field.

check it out:

from autoslug import AutoSlugField

class Pages(Model):
    title = CharField(max_length=255)
    slug =  AutoSlugField(populate_from='title')

Well, I had the same problem. This is how I fixed.

slugify(self.title).__str__()

Slugify returns a "SafeString" and it does not have any "strip()" function. So I get a "str" and it works.

Try to use slugify function from django.utils.text instead of django.template.defaultfilters. Slugify from django.template.defaultfilters is template filter and it should use in template.
