Key Error with form - DJANGO - django

Question

I have a project in django and I am creating a simple form that will allow a user to create a simple profile that asks for name and date of birth and location. I am getting a key error with the date of birth section and I dont know exactly why.
I am trying to collect data and store it to then later added it to a database record.
Here is the views file:
cd = form.cleaned_data
first_name = cd['first_name']
last_name = cd['last_name']
dob_month = cd['dob_month']
dob_day = ['dob_day']
dob_year = ['dob_year']
city = cd['city']
state = cd['state']
phone = cd['phone']
privacy = cd['privacy']
Here is the models file:
user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) # server
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=25, default='first')
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=25, default='last')
dob_month = models.IntegerField(default=0)
dob_day = models.IntegerField(default=0)
dob_year = models.IntegerField(default=0)
city = models.CharField(max_length=45) # user
state = models.CharField(max_length=25, default='state')
phone = models.BigIntegerField(default=0) # user
privacy = models.SmallIntegerField(default=1) # user
created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) # server
here is the forms file:
class ProfileForm(forms.ModelForm):
split_choices = (('1', 'public'),
('2', 'private'))
privacy = forms.TypedChoiceField(
choices=split_choices, widget=forms.RadioSelect, coerce=int
)
dob = forms.DateField(widget=extras.SelectDateWidget)
class Meta:
model = Profile
fields = ['first_name', 'last_name', 'dob', 'city', 'state', 'phone', 'privacy']
and finally, here is the error that I am getting:
KeyError at /setup_profile/
'dob_month'
Request Method: POST
Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/setup_profile/
Django Version: 1.8.6
Exception Type: KeyError
Exception Value:
'dob_month'
Exception Location: C:\Users\OmarJandali\Desktop\opentab\opentab\tab\views.py in profile_setup, line 292
first_name 'omar'
last_name 'jandali'

dob_day '23'
dob_year '2024'
city 'riverside'
state 'ca'
phone '9515343666'
privacy '1'
submit 'submit'
UPDATED:
here is the views.py file but the issue is with the cd['dobv_month'], but i have no idea why the error is coming from there.
def profile_setup(request):
if 'username' not in request.session:
return redirect('login')
else:
# the following is just going to grab the currently logged in user and
# save the profile information to the appropriate user
username = request.session['username']
currentUser = User.objects.get(username = username)
# the following is the provessing for the form where the user entered
# the profile informaiton
if request.method == 'POST':
form = ProfileForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
cd = form.cleaned_data
first_name = cd['first_name']
last_name = cd['last_name']
dob_month = cd['dob_month']
dob_day = ['dob_day']
dob_year = ['dob_year']
city = cd['city']
state = cd['state']
phone = cd['phone']
privacy = cd['privacy']
# this is the new record that is going to be created and saved
new_profile = Profile.objects.create(
user = currentUser,
first_name = first_name,
last_name = last_name,
dob_month = dob_month,
dob_day = dob_day,
dob_year = dob_year,
city = city,
state = state,
phone = phone,
privacy = privacy,
)
return redirect('home_page')
else:
# this is what is going to be saved into the html file and used to
# render the file
form = ProfileForm()
message = 'fill out form below'
parameters = {
'form':form,
'currentUser':currentUser,
'message':message,
}
return render(request, 'tabs/profile_setup.html', parameters)

Let's say your model name is User.
forms.py:
from .models import User
class UserForm(forms.ModelForm):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(UserForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
class Meta:
model = User
fields = '__all__'
and views.py:
def user_create(request):
form = UserForm(request.POST or None)
if request.method == 'POST':
form = UserForm(request.POST or None)
if not form.is_valid():
print form.errors
return render(request, 'user_create.html', {'form': form})
else:
first_name = form.cleaned_data.get("first_name")
last_name = form.cleaned_data.get("last_name")
# pass your extra fields here
new_user = User.objects.create_user(
user=user,
first_name=first_name,
last_name=last_name,
)
new_user.save()
return redirect('where you want to redirect',)
return TemplateResponse(request, 'user_create.html')
finally user will be save.
