I am a developing in django 0.96 and therefor don't have the option to
use form_for_model with fields, so having developed a custom form to
add users to the database am experiencing minor problems with model
validation.
so my form is this :
<code>
class UserForm(forms.Form):
username = forms.CharField()
first_name = forms.CharField()
last_name = forms.CharField()
email = forms.EmailField()
password = forms.CharField()
</code>
I process the form by
<code>
form = UserForm()
if request.method == 'POST':
form = UserForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
a=User()
for i,j in form.data.items():
setattr(a,i,j)
if not a.validate():
a.save()
</code>
if I remove the validation step, this works fine, how ever trying to
validate raises the error
Exception Value: expected string or buffer
Exception Location: c:\Python25\lib\_strptime.py in strptime, line
328
caused by the validation step... Am i just being thick?
