I tried to implement the above view. However, I'm having errors.
Again i think it has to do with the u character in my dict. Here is
my view:
def addpad(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
pads = request.session.get('pad', [])
pad = RugPad.objects.all()
#assert False, pad
for a in pad:
if request.POST[a.id] != 0:
opad = RugPad.objects.get(id=a)
s = opad.size
p = opad.price
pads.append({'size': s, 'price': p, 'quanity':
request[a]})
request.session['pad'] = pads
return HttpResponseRedirect("/rugs/cart/checkout")
///////////
This is the error I get:
MultiValueDictKeyError at /rugs/cart/addpad/
"Key 1 not found in <MultiValueDict: {u'1': [u'0'], u'3': [u'0'],
u'2': [u'1'], u'5': [u'0'], u'4': [u'0'], u'7': [u'0'], u'6': [u'0'],
u'8': [u'0']}>"
It can't find the key 1...because the key is actually u'1'??? I don't
know where the u is coming from.
Thanks
