Here is what i have in base.html (inside the footer, so this newsletter form will be in every page)
<form action="" method="POST">
{% csrf_token %}
<div class="form-group">
<div class="input-group mb-3">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder='Enter email address' onfocus="this.placeholder = ''" onblur="this.placeholder = 'Enter email address'">
<div class="input-group-append">
<button class="btn" type="submit"><span class="lnr lnr-arrow-right"></span></button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
Here is the model (subscribe/models.py)
class Subscriber(models.Model):
email = models.EmailField()
timestamp = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.email
what i have in views.py
def subscribe_form(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
email = request.POST.get('email')
new_email = Subscriber()
new_email.email = email
new_email.save()
return redirect('home-page')
here is urls.py
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('', views.PostListView.as_view(), name='home-page'),
path('subscribe/', views.subscribe_form, name='subscriber'),
path('archive/', views.archive, name='archive-page'),
path('category/', views.category, name='category-page'),
path('contact/', views.contact, name='contact-page')
]
after submitting the submit button i'm getting this error in shell
Method Not Allowed (POST): /
Method Not Allowed: /
[18/Jan/2020 04:13:11] "POST / HTTP/1.1" 405 0
so, i'm a beginner, im trying to build a blog, but i didn't find any useful solution that can solve this issue. maybe i'm going totally wrong, but anyway if someone can help me to make this working. Thank you all.
In your index URL, you are not allowed to post.So change it to subscribe/
<form action="{% url 'subscriber' %}" method="POST>
