Django: Model Form “object has no attribute 'cleaned_data'”

Question

I am trying to make a search form for one of my classes. The model of the form is:

from django import forms
from django.forms import CharField, ModelMultiple         


        

Answer 1

I would write the code like this:

def search_book(request):
    form = SearchForm(request.POST or None)
    if request.method == "POST" and form.is_valid():
        stitle = form.cleaned_data['title']
        sauthor = form.cleaned_data['author']
        scategory = form.cleaned_data['category']
        return HttpResponseRedirect('/thanks/')
    return render_to_response("books/create.html", {
        "form": form,
    }, context_instance=RequestContext(request))

Pretty much like the documentation.
