Thanks for the link. I'm spent a good part of the day trying to figure it
out to no avail. My next approach was to describe how I walked through it
and see where I went wrong.
I went into my models.py
from django.db import models
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
from datetime import *
from django.forms import ModelForm
# Create your models here.
class Ride(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
speed = models.CharField(max_length=255)
discipline = models.CharField(max_length=255)
slug = models.SlugField(unique=True, max_length=255)
description = models.CharField(max_length=255)
scheduletime = models.DateTimeField('date published')
lat = models.FloatField(blank=True, null=True)
lon = models.FloatField(blank=True, null=True)
published = models.BooleanField(default=True)
created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
class Meta:
ordering = ['-created']
def __unicode__(self):
return u'%s' % self.title
def get_absolute_url(self):
return reverse('blog.views.post', args=[self.slug])
class RideForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Ride
fields = ('title', 'speed', 'discipline', 'description',
'scheduletime', 'lat', 'lon')
I became really confused after this point. It is unclear to me how I cause
a html site to produce a request and for it to make its way to this model.
*Approach #2*
I tried to solve this another way. I looked at the polls-tutorial which I
have done before. I tried to replicate their vote function in views.py. The
challenge that I found was that I struggled to make a unique object on the
response of the program. Does anyone have any tips for making this happen.
Thanks
