Form error doesnt display on template? - django

Question

When I enter an invalid email adress I cant see an error message like "This is not an invalid email".
My comment_form.html:
{% load i18n %}
<form action="/comment/create/" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.errors }}
{% for field in form %}
<div class="fieldWrapper">
{{ field.label_tag }}
{{ field }}<p>
</div>
{% endfor %}
<input type="hidden" name = "object_id" value="{{object_id}}" />
<input type="hidden" name= "next" value="{{ next }}" />
<input type="submit" value="{% trans "Submit" %}">
</form>
my post_detail.html:
extends "base.html" %}
{% block content %}
<div id="exap">
{{ post.content }}
</div>
<div class="comment">
{% for comment in comments %}
<user>{{ comment.owner }}</user>
{{ comment.content}}
{% endfor %}
</div>
{% include "comment_form.html" %}
{% endblock %}
this is my comment.views
def create(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = CommentForm(request.POST)
email = request.POST.get('email')
next = request.POST.get('next')
if form.is_valid():
content_type = ContentType.objects.get(app_label="post", model="post")
object_id = request.POST["object_id"]
comment = Comment.objects.create(
content_type = content_type,
object_id = object_id,
content = request.POST.get('content'),
owner= request.POST.get('owner'),
email = request.POST.get('email')
)
else:
print form.errors
else:
form = CommentForm()
return HttpResponseRedirect(next)
Error message doesnt display in template ?
Where am I wrong ?

karthikr is trying to tell you what is wrong in the comments. You are not using the form to validate, so it won't show any errors. Instead of doing if validateEmail(email) you should have the email validation code inside the form class, and in the view you call if form.is_valid().
Plus, when you do write the form's clean_email method, you should not be catching ValidationError: that's the way that errors are passed on to the form's errors list.
