can't change model instance - django

Question

views.py
def patient_num(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = EditToBeSaveForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
num = form.cleaned_data['病人编号']
new_p = Patient.objects.get(p_number=num)
if new_p:
new_p.p_name = form.cleaned_data['姓名']
new_p.p_sex = form.cleaned_data['性别']
new_p.p_age = form.cleaned_data['年龄']
new_p.p_tel_number = form.cleaned_data['电话号码']
new_p.save()
return render(request, 'polls/patient_edit.html')
else:
form = EditToBeSaveForm()
return render(request, 'polls/patient_num.html', {'form': form})
models.py
class Patient(models.Model):
sex_choice = (
('男', '男'),
('女', '女'),
)
p_name = models.CharField(max_length=100, default='template')
p_age = models.IntegerField(default=0)
p_number = models.IntegerField(default=0)
p_tel_number = models.IntegerField(default=0)
p_sex = models.CharField(choices=sex_choice, max_length=2, default='男')
forms.py
class EditForm(forms.Form):
病人编号 = forms.IntegerField()
class EditToBeSaveForm(forms.Form):
sex_choice = (
('male', '男'),
('female', '女'),
)
病人编号 = forms.IntegerField(label='你要修改的病人编号')
姓名 = forms.CharField(max_length=100)
年龄 = forms.IntegerField()
电话号码 = forms.IntegerField()
性别 = forms.ChoiceField(choices=sex_choice)
after i populate the form and submit it, the view didn't update the database instance,why?
i can do it one by one in shell as below.
new confuse!when i populate the form with invalid value,for example, an inexistent id of Patient object,it will still render the template,why?

Answer 1

It seems to me your problem is that you never reach the code under the if form.is_valid() of your patient_num view. Try to add some prints after the if form.is_valid() clause and make sure your form is valid. It is expected that your model will not be updated if your form is not valid.

Answer 2

Your problem here that you are passing request to form instead request.POST
form = EditToBeSaveForm(request.POST)

Answer 3

i put some 'print stuff' in my view and disvocer sth:
def patient_num(request):
print(111)
if request.method == 'POST':
print(2222)
form = EditToBeSaveForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
print(3333)
num = form.cleaned_data['病人编号']
new_p = Patient.objects.get(p_number=num)
if new_p:
print(4444)
new_p.p_name = form.cleaned_data['姓名']
new_p.p_sex = form.cleaned_data['性别']
new_p.p_age = form.cleaned_data['年龄']
new_p.p_tel_number = form.cleaned_data['电话号码']
new_p.save()
return render(request, 'polls/patient_edit.html')
else:
form = EditToBeSaveForm()
return render(request, 'polls/patient_num.html', {'form': form})
i can only see 111 in the shell output.it seems that the view even didn't receive the post request.and i check my html file and find the problem.the form's destination direct to another view function…… it's so stupid, i'm sorry for waste your time !
