Question

I want to send a mail to every user that fill a form on my django website. After writing a code for it, I’m getting the below error. I’ve been trying to find the cause of the error but no success. Below are my codes:

AttributeError at /meek/
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'e_mail'

Views

Subject='Welcome'
message=loader.get_template('letter.txt') 
from_email='[e-mail]'


def gent_me(request):
    if request.method=='POST':
       form=GentForm(request.POST)
       if form.is_valid():
          data=form.cleaned_data
          newgent=Gent(
            pub_date=datetime.datetime.now(),
            full_name=data['full_name'],
            company_name=data['company_name'],
            services=data['services'],
            e_mail=data['e_mail'],
            address=data['address'],
            city=data['city'],
            state=data['state'],
            phone_no=data['phone_no'])
         invite=newgent.save()
         send_mail(Subject, message.render(Context()),from_email,[invite.e_mail])
         return HttpResponse('Thanks. Kindly check your mail.')
      else:
          return HttpResponse('Kindly fill form.')
   else:
       return render_to_response('ment.html',{'GentForm':GentForm},context_instance=RequestContext(request))

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

The Model.save method has a return value of ‘None’. So ‘invite’ after invite=newgent.save() is None. Instead of

invite=newgent.save()

you should do

newgent.save()

and then

send_mail(Subject, message.render(Context()),from_email,[newgent.e_mail])
