how to get POST data in django 1.3

Question

Hey, I am following this tutorial to learn to make a wiki page with Django. However, it is made in django 0.96 and I use Django 1.3 so there are some things that are different.

Answer 1

I guess you've missed the symbol '=' in the form declaration.

action"/wikicamp/{{page_name}}/save/"

action="/wikicamp/{{page_name}}/save/"

Fortunately, it might be not a mistake. So if it is not a solution, try some more easy example:

# settings.py

TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
    # Here comes something like "C:/www/django/templates"
)

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    ...
    'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
    ...
)

# urls.py

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    ('^foo', foo),
)


# views.py
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from django.core.context_processors import csrf

def foo(request):
    d = {}
    d.update(csrf(request))
    if 'output' in request.POST:
        d.update({'output':request.POST['output']})
    return render_to_response('foo.html',d)

# foo.html template

 Foo 

    {% csrf_token %}
    
    

 Output: {{ output }} 

Hope this will work
