Django forms User form not summited

Question

I need help with my code. I have read through the code several times and I didn't see anything wrong with it. The user is expected to submit a job application and redirect the user to the dashboard, but it did not submit the job application neither does it direct the user to the dashboard. here is my code: mode.py

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User


class Job(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    short_description = models.TextField()
    long_description = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)


    created_by = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='jobs', on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    changed_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)


    def __str__(self):
        return self.title

class Application(models.Model):
    job = models.ForeignKey(Job, related_name='applications', on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    content = models.TextField()
    experience = models.TextField()

    created_by = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='applications', on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

Views.py

from django.shortcuts import render, redirect

from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required

from .forms import AddJobForm, ApplicationForm from .models import Job

def job_detail(request, job_id): job = Job.objects.get(pk=job_id) return render(request, 'jobs/job_detail.html', {'job': job})

@login_required def add_job(request): if request.method == 'POST': form = AddJobForm(request.POST)

    if form.is_valid():
        job = form.save(commit=False)
        job.created_by = request.user
        job.save()

        return redirect('dashboard')

else:
    form = AddJobForm()

return render(request, 'jobs/add_job.html', {'form': form})

@login_required def apply_for_job(request, job_id): job = Job.objects.get(pk=job_id)

if request.method == 'POST':
    form = ApplicationForm(request.POST)

    if form.is_valid():
        application = form.save(commit=False)
        application.job = job
        application.created_by = request.user
        application.save()

        #create_notification(request, job.created_by, 'application', extra_id=application.id)

        return redirect('dashboard')
else:
    form = ApplicationForm()

return render(request, 'jobs/apply_for_job.html', {'form': form, 'job': job})

forms.py

from django import forms

from .models import Job, Application

class AddJobForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Job fields = ['title','short_description','long_description']

class ApplicationForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Application fields = ['content', 'experience']

apply_for_job.html

{% extends 'core/base.html' %}

{% block content %} Apply for job - {{ job.title }}

<form method="post" action=".">
    {% csrf_token %}

    {% if form.errors %}
        {% for error in form.errors %}
            <div class="notification is-danger">
                {{ error }}
            </div>
        {% endfor %}
    {% endif %}

    <div class="field">
        <label>Content</label>

        <div class="control">
            <textarea class="textarea" name="content" id="id_content"></textarea>
        </div>
    </div>

    <div class="field">
        <label>Experience</label>

        <div class="control">
            <textarea class="textarea" name="experience" id="id_experience"></textarea>
        </div>
    </div>

    <div class="field">
        <div class="control">
            <button class="button is-success">Submit</button>
        </div>
    </div>
</form>

{% endblock %}

Answer 1

the error in this line

<form method="post" action=".">

just delete the point, and it should work,

<form method="post" action="">
