django form doesn't work on click submit

Question

I\'m trying to do a form, with gender choices. The user could choice between male or female.

What I have now in forms.py:

class GenderForm(forms.Form):
          


        

Answer 1

You have to define url where post data will be sent

This will send post data to url /my_app/my_view/

<form action="/my_app/my_view/" method="post">
    {% for field in form_gender %}
        {{ field }}
    {% endfor %}

<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form> 

This will send post data to current url you are on.

<form action="." method="post">
    {% for field in form_gender %}
        {{ field }}
    {% endfor %}

<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form> 

Answer 2

I don't understand why you've defined DemoDataForm in both models.py and forms.py, once as a ModelForm and once as a plain form. Because of that, it's impossible to tell from the code you've posted exactly which class you're instantiating.

I would say, drop the version in forms.py, move the one in models.py into forms.py, and use that. But first you'll need to fix a slight bug - instead of:

fields = ('gender')

you need

fields = ('gender',)

because a one-item tuple always needs a comma, otherwise Python will try to iterate through the string.
