This is the code I have, and when I run it on Django, I am met with this error: 'Title' object has no attribute cleaned_data

def new(request):
    
    form = Title(request.POST)
    if request.method == "POST":
        if form.is_valid:
           title = form.cleaned_data["title"]
           text = form.cleaned_data["text"]
           util.save_entry(title, text)
        else:
            return render(request, "encyclopedia/error.html",{
                "form":NewForm()
            })
        return redirect(reverse('page', args = [title]))
    
    return render(request, "encyclopedia/newpage.html",{
        "form1":Title(),
        "form": NewForm()
    }) 

CodePudding user response：

You are probably getting the exception thrown in your return statement where you are instantiating a new Title object. This object only gets the cleaned_data attribute when is_valid method has been called upon. Hence you haven't called this on the new Title object and that is the reason why you are getting the error.

CodePudding user response：

you use form = Title(request.POST), but the line after you check whether the request.method equals POST or not. i think yo should move that line inside the if statement

CodePudding user response：

is_valid() it's a function

def new(request):
    form = Title(request.POST)
    if request.method == "POST":
        if form.is_valid():
            title = form.cleaned_data["title"]
            text = form.cleaned_data["text"]
            util.save_entry(title, text)
       
        else:
            return render(request, "encyclopedia/error.html",{
            "form":NewForm()
        })
    return redirect(reverse('page', args = [title]))

return render(request, "encyclopedia/newpage.html",{
    "form1":Title(),
    "form": NewForm()
})
