Question

In my main site (application), I have an application called Catalog.

I am trying to create a form to enter Product details. This is the first time doing it:

Under Catalog folder, I have the following code:

1) In models.py I have this model:

class Product(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255, unique=True)
    slug = models.SlugField(max_length=255, unique=True, help_text='Unique value for product page URL, created from name.')
    brand = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    sku = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=9,decimal_places=2)
    old_price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=9,decimal_places=2, blank=True,default=0.00)
    image = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
    is_bestseller = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    is_featured = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    quantity = models.IntegerField()
    description = models.TextField()
    meta_keywords = models.CharField(max_length=255, help_text='Comma-delimited set of SEO keywords for meta tag')
    meta_description = models.CharField(max_length=255, help_text='Content for description meta tag')
    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
    categories = models.ManyToManyField(Category)
    user = models.ForeignKey(User)

    class Meta:
        db_table = 'products'
        ordering = ['-created_at']

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.name

    @models.permalink
    def get_absolute_url(self):
        return ('catalog_product', (), { 'product_slug': self.slug })

    def sale_price(self):
        if self.old_price > self.price:
            return self.price
        else:
            return None

I checked this on the database using Django’s DBShell, it looks fine.

2) in Forms.py, I created the

from django import forms
from CATALOG.models import Product

class Product_Form(forms.Form):
    name = forms.CharField(label='name', max_length=30)
    slug = forms.SlugField(label='Unique Name for the URL', max_length=30)
    brand = forms.CharField(label='Unique Name for the URL', max_length=30)
    price = forms.DecimalField(label='Price',max_digits=9,decimal_places=2)
    old_price = forms.DecimalField(max_digits=9,decimal_places=2, blank=True,default=0.00)
    quantity = forms.IntegerField()
    description = forms.TextField()
    meta_keywords = forms.CharField(max_length=255)
    meta_description = forms.models.CharField(max_length=255)
    categories = forms.CharField(max_length=255)
    user = forms.integerfield()

    prepopulated_fields = {'slug' : ('name',)}

3) in views.py, I have

# Create your views here.
from CATALOG.forms import *
def enter_product(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = RegistrationForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            user = User.objects.create_user(
                username=form.clean_data['username'],
                password=form.clean_data['password1'],
                email=form.clean_data['email']
            )
            return HttpResponseRedirect('/')
        else:
            form = RegistrationForm()
        variables = RequestContext(request, {
            'form': form
        })

        return render_to_response(
            'CATALOG/enter_product.html',
            variables
        )

4) in URLs.py

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from CATALOG.views import *

urlpatterns = patterns('SOWL.catalog.views',
    (r'^$', 'index', { 'template_name':'catalog/index.html'}, 'catalog_home'),
    (r'^category/(?P<category_slug>[-\w]+)/$', 'show_category', {'template_name':'catalog/category.html'},'catalog_category'),
    (r'^product/(?P<product_slug>[-\w]+)/$', 'show_product', {'template_name':'catalog/product.html'},'catalog_product'),
    (r'^enter_product/$',enter_product),
)

I have created the Temaplate called in views.py.

But I am getting this error.

init() got an unexpected keyword argument ‘default’

which is actually actually pointing to the old_price variable.

I am stuck here. :(. Any help is much appreciated.

Answer 1

in your Product_Form

old_price = forms.DecimalField(max_digits=9,decimal_places=2, blank=True,default=0.00)

change default=0.00 to initial=0.00. default keyword is used for models, and initial for forms.
