Question

I’m getting the error below when trying to load my Category. The value posted is ‘1’ and exists in the DB,

TypeError at /events/add/

int() argument must be a string or a number, not 'Category'

Request Method:     POST
Request URL:    http://127.0.0.1:8000/events/new/
Django Version:     1.4
Exception Type:     TypeError
Exception Value:    

int() argument must be a string or a number, not 'Category'

Exception Location:     /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/django/db/models/fields/__init__.py in get_prep_value, line 537
Python Executable:  /Users/user/Documents/workspace/RoseBud/django-env/bin/python

views.py

 category = Category.objects.get(pk=form.cleaned_data['category'])

Answer 1

sounds like the object returned by form.cleaned_data['category'] is a category object, not a number.

If that’s the case, just do category = form.cleaned_data['category']

print it to be sure.
