ahh, okay. Let's try another approach to see if you can nail down that error. I'm not sure why it's not working.

 

def reserve(request, park_id):

   

    # Get the User

    # This is different than the method you're using

    # but I think it may be what you want.

 

    user = self.request.user

 

    # Grab that Notification and Park

    # In your method, you were throwing a 404 error. I'm

    # not sure if that's what you're actually after (page not found)

    # or if you'd rather give a server error because the user attempted

    # to use a notification or park that didn't exist.

 

    # Also, I'm a bit confused by the variable names, haha. I'd think the Park

    # object would take the park_id and the Notification object would use

    # something else.

 

    notification = Notification.objects.get(pk = park_id)

    park = Park.objects.get(pk = 1)

 

    # This will check to see if that POST Variable is available.

    if 'timeout' is in request.POST:

 

        # Grab the Timeout Variable

        timeout = int(request.POST['timeout'])

 

        # Let's build the Reservation object piece by piece to see what the problem is.

        reservation = Reservation.objects.create()

        reservation.user = user

        # ....

        reservation.notification = notification

        reservation.timeout = timeout

        # ...

        reservation.save()

 

        return HttpResponse(...)

 

    # This is the error case where the timeout wasn't POST'ed.

    else:

        raise Exception("The timeout variable wasn't posted.")

 

This time, you should see exactly where that error is popping up. Also, ModelForm + CreateView would be a great an easy combination for this exact situation.

       

Good luck!

timeout field is just an INTEGER.. just saying the amount of time the space will be reserved.

 

class Reservation(models.Model):            user = models.ForeignKey(User)      park = models.ForeignKey(Park)      notification = models.ForeignKey(Notification)        timeout = models.IntegerField()      active = models.BooleanField()      parked = models.BooleanField()      reservation_date = models.DateTimeField('date reserved')

Can we see what your "Reservation" model looks like? Specifically, that 'timeout' field?

hi i have done a succefull query and i converted the results into links so i can make a post by clicking on the links to make a reservation.

my problem is, theres a variable timeout that i want to specify manually, but i get a "Key 'timeout' not found in <QueryDict: {}>" 

 

i know i am supposed to pass that variable but i just dont know how. 

 

my code is :  

 

def reserve (request,user_id,park_id):

    #only works if the user exists in database

    u = get_object_or_404(User, pk=user_id)

    n = get_object_or_404(Notification, pk=park_id)

    p = get_object_or_404(Park, pk=1)

    r = Reservation(user=u ,notification=n, park=p, timeout=int(request.POST['timeout']),active=True,parked=False,reservation_date=datetime.now())

    r.save()

    return HttpResponse('Spot reserved')

 

html:

 

{% if parks %} <p>You searched for: <strong>{{ query }}</strong></p> <p>Found {{ parks|length }} park{{ parks|pluralize }}.</p> <ul> {% for park in parks %} <input type="text" name="timeout" value="60" id="timeout"> <li><a href="/accounts/{{ user.id }}/reserve/{{ park.id }}">{{ park.park_address }}</a></li> {% endfor %} </ul> {% endif %}

 

can someone help me?
