Question

I am rendering the Django form data to a template but every time when i visit to the url it shows me this error:

_wrapped_view() takes at least 1 argument (0 given)

Method in views.py:

 @login_required                              
 def subnet_network_detail(request):
     if request.method == 'POST':
         form = NetworkCreateForm(request.POST)
         if form.is_valid():
             subnet = form.data['Subnet_Address']
             ip = form.data['IP_Address']
             user_hosts = get_hosts(user=request.user)
             hosts_list = host_subnet(user_hosts,subnet,ip)
             import pdb;pdb.set_trace()
     extra_context = {
         'hosts_list': hosts_list
         }
     return direct_to_template(request, 'networks/subnet_network.html',extra_context)

and urls.py:

  url(r'^network/netmask/select/$',
     'subnet_network_detail', name='subnet_network_detail')

I read from the other questions about this error but didn’t get any idea. How to solve it?

Answer 1

direct_to_template is designed to be used in your urls.py:

url(r'^network/netmask/select/$', 'direct_to_template', {'template':'networks/subnet_network.html'}, name='subnet_network_detail')

You should be using render or render_to_response from within a view.

If you are using django 1.3 or later you can use:

from django.shortcuts import render
...
return render('networks/subnet_network.html', extra_context)

Or if you are using an earlier version:

from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from django.template import RequestContext
...
return render_to_response('networks/subnet_network.html', extra_context, RequestContext(request))
