views.py

def volunteer_form(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = VolunteerForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            return HttpResponse('<script language="JavaScript"> alert("You have sucessful created a new Volunteer"); location.href="http://127.0.0.1:8000/login/volunteer_form/" </script>')
            #return HttpResponseRedirect('/')

    else:
        detail_id = request.GET['id']
        query_results = User.objects.filter(id = detail_id)
        form = VolunteerForm()  
        return render(request, 'loginPortal/volunteer_form.html', {'form' : form, 'query_results' : query_results})

forms.py

from django.db import models
from django.forms import ModelForm
from loginPortal.models import Volunteer, Client

class VolunteerForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Volunteer

class ClientForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Client

So I'm getting the error that the form is not validated. and I cant find the error. If any one can help me with this, I will be glad

Answer 1

The last part of your view should look like this:

else:
    form = VolunteerForm()  
detail_id = request.GET['id']
query_results = User.objects.filter(id = detail_id)
return render(request, 'loginPortal/volunteer_form.html', {'form' : form, 'query_results' : query_results})

Only the form definition should be inside else, all the rest should be outside that block.

Answer 2

It forms.py, you're referencing:

model = Client

...after doing an import above. You don't have a model called 'Client' in models.py, you have a model called 'Person'.
