Question

here’s my form…

class PercentForm(forms.Form):
    percent = forms.IntegerField()

here’s my view that uses this:

formx = PercentForm(request.POST or None)
if formx.is_valid():
                px = Pxxx.objects.get(id = user.id )
                pcx = formx.cleaned_data['percent']
                pc = (float(pcx / 10)
                px.percentage_instant = pc
                px.save()

pxxx model

percentage_instant = models.FloatField()

so say my input is 3 it should store as 0.3 but it stores as 0. why is that? where may the error be? I cant seem to figure it out.

Answer 1

If pcx is an integer then pcx / 10 will still be an integer on 2.x. Perhaps you meant float(pcx) / 10 or pcx / 10.0.
