I'm getting this error when I go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/avatar/change/ and click the button 'Upload New Image':
Forbidden (403) CSRF verification failed. Request aborted.
So I went to python27/Lib/site-packages/avatar/templates/avatar/change.html and added
{% csrf_token %} right after <form ... POST...>.
When I refresh the browser and view source I do not see the CSRF token, and the 403 message is still generated.
How do I modify the 'correct' django-avatar template?
Apparently there exist two <form></form> sections in the template. Silly me. I only added the {% csrf_token %} to the first form I found thinking that there was only one form defined under change.html.

This error happens even after using csrf_exempt in the views.py page .How to resolve this issue?

Django handles csrf automatically so not need to exempt for your code just add csrf template tag in HTML Template like this...
<form action="" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
</form>
and remove #csrf_exempt decorator which is on top of add_item
NOTE:- When you send POST request then require to add csrf token in html post form
I am attempting to create a page that includes two forms: one that is visible when the page loads (a signin form), and a second that appears in a modal if the user clicks a button (a signup form).
I am using Django, and, although I am still figuring out how I will handle these forms, my largest concern is how the CSRF token will play into all of this. For example, should I use {% csrf_token %} inside of only one of my <form></form> tags, or should I place it in both?
Further, if I do use it in both forms, will this affect my POSTS to the server in any way? Currently, I am taking the data in a form (depending on which submit button is clicked) and POSTing this way:
var data={
'username':$('#username').val(),
'password':$('#password').val(),
'csrfmiddlewaretoken': '{{ csrf_token }}'
}
$.post("/", signin_data);
csrf_token should be placed in both the forms, as long as both are being accessed on the server side via GET or POST, and YES you can use the same csrf_token for both the forms without any issues.
You can do something like
<form action="." >{% csrf_token %}
{{form1.as_p}}
</form>
when you do data=form.serialize(), the csrf token is automatically serialized in the data of the ajax request.
The reason multiple {% csrf_token %} works is because all the token does is provide information for validation that a form request is from a valid (untampered) user session.
Im using https://bitbucket.org/ubernostrum/django-registration/ for login and registration in Django.
But now im trying to add an login-form in my base.html, with a simple form
{% csrf_token %}... etc
The thing is when i login it says CSRF verification fails, i guess this is because the data isnt sent from templates/registration/login.html ?
Any idea how I should solve this in an easy way, will I have to write my own login-view?
Refresh the page of "http://*/accounts/register/" that contains your form not Forbidden after you add {% csrf_token %}.
I am using django-threadedcomments. Everything works fine except 2 things: csrf token and user template tag.
Problem is, when user submits a comment, there is no csrf token for the form, so the form could not be validated server-side. Tried adding csrf token to the dictionaries that threaded-comments passes internal with no result; kept receiving errors (most of them telling that this-method takes only 2 arguments with 3 given). Tried to fix those methods to accept 3 arguments and just pass third one further; no success.
Did someone stumble upon the same problem in past and solved it? because this is not an acceptable solution for me:
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
#'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
)
Second one - there is a HTML helper to get the user_id for the user who posted a comment. Is there an out of the box html helper to get the name of the user by id or would i have to write it myself?
http://code.google.com/p/django-threadedcomments/
Here is the code for the project, I cant really tell exactly which chunks of it should be posted here so I just give link to the entire project.
I am really stuck in here and any help would be welcomed.
Thanks in advance.

csrf_token is a template tag -- it shouldn't be passed as an argument somewhere.
I took a look at threadedcomments and it's based on contrib.comments with no html rendering, so it's up to you to insert the csrf_token in your template.
What does your TEMPLATE code look like that is displaying your form code?
If you have CsrfViewMiddleware enabled and you are using RequestContext in your view, you simply need to add {% csrf_token %} inside of your <form></form> tags.
As for getting the user name:
ThreadedComment is a subclasses of Comment which has a name property, or you could just access the User directly...
{% for comment in comments %
{{ comment.user.first_name }}
{{ comment.name }}
{% endfor %}
You should use {% csrf_token %} tag or #csrf_protect in a views
You can put your form in its own template and {% include %} it into your page template. As of Django 1.3, {% include %} can pass context variables to the included template. Here's what I'm using with django.contrib.comments instead of a templatetag:
...
{% include "comments/comment-form.html" with content_object=article user=request.user %}
...
{%csrf_token %} works in this included template because it's using your main view context.
I have a GWT web app working with Django server-side. I recently upgraded Django to 1.2, and am not able to get HTTP posts to work from my GWT app. I am getting this error:
CSRF verification failed. Request
aborted.
Reason given for failure:
CSRF token missing or incorrect.
I have enabled the csrf middlewares ('django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware', 'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfResponseMiddleware') which is working for contrib apps like login, but it seems as though the token is not getting added to posts made through GWT. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
If you have checked the templates for auth.login you'll notice that a CSRF token is explicitly included inside the <form> tag.
<form method="post" action=".">
{% csrf_token %}
This is expanded into a hidden field when the page is rendered on a GET request. Something like:
<form method="post" action=".">
<div style='display:none'>
<input type='hidden' name='csrfmiddlewaretoken'
value='90064bf0e86edacfdb60595e3e2b8f23' />
</div>
This token is then passed back to the view on POST and validated.
Consequently before you can POST to a CSRF protected view you will have to first get the token from the said view.
Can you verify/ensure that you have the CSRF token handy before making a POST request to the view? Alternately you can disable CSRF protection for the view using the csrf_exempt decorator. This may not be a good idea though.
Update
This is the point of my question: I am not using django templates for my front-end and thus I cannot tag forms with the token. I am using GWT for my front-end, which is rendering the form for the post.
Are you already making a GET request to the Django view before rendering the page? In that case you can get the CSRF token by parsing the contents of the response.
If not you will have to explicitly make a GET request to the view (assuming it supports GET) and parse the response for a CSRF token. For an example see this question.
