OK, I'm a total newbie. I ran through the tutorial on the django site,
and decided to extend the poll system a bit just to learn more. I
figured quite a bit out, but on this one I'm stuck.
I want to provide a page at polls/new to add a new poll. I'm trying
to use the generic.create_update.create_object generic view to provide
the form, which works, but when I submit the post, it doesn't follow
the post_save_redirect I specify. I think I know why, but first,
here's my urlconf:
(r'^new/$', 'django.views.generic.create_update.create_object',
dict({'model': Poll}, post_save_redirect="../")),
I've no idea if that is right, but I stopped getting errors with it,
and my template will display. Here's the template I'm using:
<form method="post" action=".">
<p><label for="id_newpoll">New Poll:</label> {{ form.question }}
<input type="submit" />
This generates the expected form. When I click submit, I get returned
to the same page, no errors. I'm pretty sure this is happening
because I have NOT NULL in the pub_date field, and I'm trying to
insert a new record without a date. Makes sense to me, but how do I
get there? Like I said, I'm a total newbie to this - bash me if you
want. ;)
So, what am I doing wrong, and more important to the long term, how
the heck do I debug something like this? I'm getting no errors.
TIA
