forms field not loading - django

Question

I have designed a model in Django and a form according to it. The below are the both files.
models.py
from django.db import models
class TotalEvent(models.Model):
CustomerID = models.CharField(max_length=30)
eventID = models.CharField(max_length=100)
eventPlace = models.CharField(max_length=100)
eventStartTime = models.TimeField(auto_now=False)
eventDate = models.DateField(auto_now=False)
forms.py
from django import forms
from django.forms import ModelForm
from catering.models import TotalEvent
class TotalEventForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = TotalEvent
fields = '__all__'
Now, When in my html file I tried this:
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block title %}Log-in{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
<h1>Detail page</h1>
<p>Enter your schedule details here</p>
<form method="post">{% csrf_token %}
{% for field in forms %}
{{field}}
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
{% endfor %}
</form>
{% endblock %}
views.py
from django.shortcuts import render
from catering.forms import TotalEvent
def add(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = TotalEvent(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return render(request, 'index.html', { 'form': TotalEvent()
})
In the output it shows no input fields except the following output
Enter your schedule details here
Please have a look and let me know where is the error.

Answer 1

Use TotalEventForm instead TotalEvent as TotalEvent is model class not form class, update your views.py
def add(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
# create a form instance and populate it with data from the request:
form = TotalEventForm(request.POST)
# check whether it's valid:
if form.is_valid():
# process the data in form.cleaned_data as required
# ...
# redirect to a new URL:
return HttpResponseRedirect('/thanks/')
# if a GET (or any other method) we'll create a blank form
else:
form = TotalEventForm()
return render(request, 'index.html', {'form': form})
and you can use form directly in your html file.
<form method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form }}
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>

Answer 2

type
{% for field in form %}
instead of
{% for field in forms %}
