How to solve method not allowed (Post) http error 405 - django

Question

Codes in views
I am new to django I couldn't able to rectify where it went wrong can anyone please help me on this.
class UpdateVote(LoginRequiredMixin,UpdateView):
form_class = VoteForm
queryset = Vote.objects.all()
def get_object(self,queryset=None):
vote = super().get_object(queryset)
user = self.request.user
if vote.user != user:
raise PermissionDenied('can not change another user vote')
return vote
def get_success_url(self):
movie_id = self.object.movie.id
return reverse('core:movie_detail', kwargs={'pk':movie_id})
def render_to_response(self, context, **response_kwargs):
movie_id = context['object'].id
movie_detail_url = reverse('core:movie_detail',kwargs={'pk':movie_id})
return redirect(to=movie_detail_url)
class MovieDetail(DetailView):
queryset = Movie.objects.all_with_prefetch_persons()
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
ctx = super().get_context_data(**kwargs)
if self.request.user.is_authenticated:
vote = Vote.objects.get_vote_or_unsaved_blank_vote(movie=self.object,user=self.request.user)
if vote.id:
vote_url_form = reverse('core:UpdateVote',kwargs={'movie_id':vote.movie.id,'pk':vote.id})
else:
vote_url_form = (reverse('core:create_vote',kwargs={'movie_id':self.object.id}))
vote_form = VoteForm(instance=vote)
ctx['vote_form'] = vote_form
ctx['vote_url_form'] = vote_url_form
return ctx
Codes in form.py
I have used this form to link with UpdateView
from django import forms
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
from .models import Movie,Vote
class VoteForm(forms.ModelForm):
user = forms.ModelChoiceField(widget=forms.HiddenInput,queryset=get_user_model().objects.all(),disabled=True)
movie = forms.ModelChoiceField(widget=forms.HiddenInput,queryset = Movie.objects.all(),disabled=True)
value = forms.ChoiceField(widget=forms.RadioSelect,choices=Vote.VALUE_CHOICE)
class Meta:
model = Vote
fields = ('value','user','movie',)
urls.py
This is the url mapping for the view.
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
from .views import MovieList,MovieDetail,PersonDetail,CreateVote,UpdateVote
app_name = 'core'
urlpatterns = [
path('movies/', MovieList.as_view(), name='movie_list'),
path('movie/<int:pk>/', MovieDetail.as_view(), name='movie_details'),
path('person/<int:pk>/', PersonDetail.as_view(), name='person_details'),
path('movie/<int:movie_id>/vote/', CreateVote.as_view(), name='create_vote'),
path('movie/<int:movie_id>/vote/<int:pk>', UpdateVote.as_view(), name='UpdateVote'),
]
HTML template
This is the template I used.
{% block sidebar %}
<div>
{% if vote_form %}
<form action="{{vote_form_url}}" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ vote_form.as_p }}
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit" >Vote</button>
</form>
{% else %}
<p>Login to vote for this movie</p>
{% endif %} </div> {% endblock %}

Answer 1

The problem caused because your form was sent to another path which doesn't allow POST request. vote_form_url is not which you added in the view context, use vote_url_form instead.
...
<form action="{{ vote_url_form }}" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
...
Btw, your MovieDetail view can get rid of if self.request.user.is_authenticated: by using LoginRequiredMixin like UpdateVote view.
Hope that helps!
