Question

I have used forms of Django in this manner and have got an error:
Error:invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'check‘

#this is forms.py    
from django import forms

    class PersonalInfo(forms.Form):
        Name = forms.CharField(max_length=20)
        Email_ID = forms.EmailField(required=False)
        Address = forms.CharField(max_length=50,required=False)
        Contact_Phone =  forms.CharField(max_length=20)
        Image = forms.FileField(required=False)

The PersonalInfo is used in register.html

#This is view.py, register calling register.html
    def register(request):
        form = PersonalInfo()
        return render_to_response('register.html', {'form':form}, context_instance=RequestContext(request))

In register.html this is the way I will use it :

            {% if form.errors %}
            <p style="color: red;">
                Please correct the error{{ form.errors|pluralize }} below.
            </p>
            {% endif %}

            <form action="/uregister/" method="post">
                <table>
                    {{ form.as_table }}
                </table>
                <input type="submit" value="Submit">
            </form>

This is views of uregister:

def uregister(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
    form = PersonalInfo(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            cd = form.cleaned_data
                per_job = Personal(cd['Name'], cd['Email_ID'], cd['Address'], cd['Contact_Phone'], cd['Image'])
                per_job.save()
                return HttpResponseRedirect('/')
        else:
            form = PersonalInfo()
            return render_to_response('register.html', {'form': form}, context_instance=RequestContext(request))

This is the Personal model in models.py:

class Personal(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=20)
    email = models.EmailField(blank=True,null=True)
    address = models.CharField(max_length=50,blank=True,null=True)
    contact =  models.CharField(max_length=20)
    pic = models.FileField(upload_to='image/',blank=True,null=True)

The error I get is :

invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'check'

and

Exception Type: ValueError
Exception Value:    invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'check'
Exception Location: /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/db/models/fields/__init__.py in get_prep_value, line 479

Check is the name I had given as in dummy data.
Can anyone tell me where i am going wrong? Please.

I think the problem is in line

per_job = Personal(cd['Name'], cd['Email_ID'], cd['Address'], cd['Contact_Phone'], cd['Image'])

I don’t know if it’s possible to create a model instance with only positional parameters, but it’s not mentioned in the docs. You should be using keyword parameters:

per_job = Personal(name=cd['Name'], email=cd['Email_ID'], etc.

The error you’re seeing probably results from trying to assing non-integer value to the default database field with object ID, so it might be caused by this.

Regarding the other things:

• Image is not stored probably because you’re not using form attribute enctype="multipart/form-data" which is required for correctly processing uploaded files.
• The errors are not displayed most probably because they’re contained in the form after validation, and you’re replacing that with an empty instance in else: branch of your uregister view.
