Django form missing method="post" action="" - django

Question

Good day,
Using Django 1.11, I have created signin and signup forms.
My signin form is working correctly, but my signup form is using the GET method, not the POST method specified. Using the inspector on the signin form, it just shows . The method="POST" action="...." are missing and I cannot see why.
urls.py:
from django.conf.urls import url
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', views.home, name='home'),
url(r'signin/$', views.sign_in, name='signin'),
url(r'signup/$', views.sign_up, name='signup'),
url(r'signout/$', views.sign_out, name='signout'),
]
views.py
def sign_in(request):
form = AuthenticationForm()
if request.method == 'POST':
form = AuthenticationForm(data=request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
if form.user_cache is not None:
user = form.user_cache
if user.is_active:
login(request, user)
return HttpResponseRedirect(
reverse('stb:home')
)
else:
messages.error(
request,
"That user account has been disabled."
)
else:
messages.error(
request,
"Username or password is incorrect."
)
return render(request, 'stb/signin.html', {'form': form})
def sign_up(request):
form = UserCreationForm()
if request.method == 'POST':
form = UserCreationForm(data=request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
# Unpack form values
username = form.cleaned_data['username']
password = form.cleaned_data['password1']
email = form.cleaned_data['email']
# Create the User record
user = User(username=username, email=email)
user.set_password(password)
user.save()
user = authenticate(
username=username,
password=password
)
login(request, user)
messages.success(
request,
"You're now a user! You've been signed in, too."
)
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('stb:profile'))
return render(request, 'stb/signup.html', {'form': form})
signup.html:
{% extends "layout.html" %}
{% block title %}{{ block.super }} | Sign Up{% endblock %}
{% block body %}
<div class="grid-30 centered">
<h2>Sign Up</h2><form>
<form method="POST" action="{% url 'stb:signup' %}">
{% csrf_token %}
<input name="username" id="id_username" required="" autofocus=""
placeholder="User Name" maxlength="150" type="text">
<input name="email" id="id_email" required=""
placeholder="Email Address" type="email">
<input name="password1" required="" id="id_password1"
placeholder="Password" type="password">
<input name="password2" required="" id="id_password2"
placeholder="Confirm Password" type="password">
<input type="submit" class="button-primary" value="Sign Up">
<a class="button" href="signin.html">Sign In</a>
<input type="hidden" name="next" value="{{ next }}" />
</form>
</div>
{% endblock %}

Answer 1

Try moving the form assignment in the first line to the else statement of the if ,
Like this,
def sign_up(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = UserCreationForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
username = form.cleaned_data['username']
password = form.cleaned_data['password1']
email = form.cleaned_data['email']
user = User(username=username, email=email)
user.set_password(password)
user.save()
user = authenticate( username=username, password=password )
login(request, user)
messages.success( request, "You're now a user! You've been signed in, too." )
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('stb:profile'))
else:
return render(request​, 'stb/signup.html', {'errors': form.errors}
else:
form = UserCreationForm ()
return render(request, 'stb/signup.html', {'form': form})
