Django : CSRF verification failed even after adding {% csrf_token %}

Question

views.py:

def index(request):
    return render_to_response(\'index.html\', {})

def photos(request, artist):
    if not artist:
        r         


        

Answer 1

Try using the @csrf_protect decorator:

from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_protect
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response

@csrf_protect
def photos(request,artist):
    if not artist:
        return render_to_response('photos.html', {'error' : 'no artist supplied'})
    photos = get_photos_for_artist(artist)
    if not photos:
        logging.error('Issue while getting photos for artist')
        return render_to_response('photos.html', {'error': 'no matching artist found'})
    return render_to_response('photos.html', {'photos': photos})
