Django 'RequestContext' not defined - forms.ModelForm
I got a request context error when trying to load my form.
- Created ModelForm on my models.py
- created by def add on my view
- associated url with view
views.py
def add_company(request):
# Get the context from the request.
context = RequestContext(request)
# A HTTP POST?
if request.method == 'POST':
form = CompanyForm(request.POST)
# Have we been provided with a valid form?
if form.is_valid():
# Save the new category to the database.
form.save(commit=True)
# Now call the index() view.
# The user will be shown the homepage.
return index(request)
else:
# The supplied form contained errors - just print them to the terminal.
print form.errors
else:
# If the request was not a POST, display the form to enter details.
form = CompanyForm()
# Bad form (or form details), no form supplied...
# Render the form with error messages (if any).
return render_to_response('add_company.html', {'form': form}, context)
But its stuck on the first line of the view. I did it the same way I did in the rango tutorial. He works there. But mine doesn't work. Can anyone tell me?
thank

you really don't need to worry about passing the RequestContext because if you use render () it handles it for you.
what would you do:
return render(request, 'add_company.html', {'form': form})
instead
return render_to_response('add_company.html', {'form': form}, context)
here it is. of course you also need to import it.
from django.shortcuts import render
Hope this solves your problem.
