TypeError returning Model entry

I'm creating an ebay style website that auctions off items. I have a form that takes in the values for the listing required by the model. The form renders well but when I submit the form I get the error:
<class 'TypeError'> views.py 80 ("l = Listing(title=title, description=description, url=url, user=user_id, category=category)")
forms.py
class NewListingForm(forms.Form):

bid = forms.DecimalField(decimal_places=2, max_digits=10)
category = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=Category.objects.all())
views.py
** added around line that's throwing the error

User is a keyword, so I was getting an error from that.

Django Postgresql Error in Production (quiz.models.Question.DoesNotExist:)

I am creating a quiz application using a guide. My application works perfectly fine in development with both sqlite3 and postgresql databases. But when pushed to production, I am faced with errors using a postgresql database. So I tried using my development sqlite3 database in production to test things out. My sqlite3 database works fine in production, but postgresql does not work in production. Initially, I thought the error is on the views level, but now I am seeing the error coming from the postgresql. Could be errors in my views or models schema. I really can't tell. The corresponding error I get when using a postgresql database in production using a linux server with gunicorn and nginx is here below, and the whole models design and views are here below too. Thanks, I appreciate your time in giving me a suitable answer to my question.

Your data in Question is not stored in simple text because you are using RichTextUploadingField which converts text into HTML format for handling text fomatting. Because of this you can't directly compare two strings or run search over it.
Try using icontains for checking string in your field. This might not work in all cases so you'll have to handle that accordingly.

Most certainly your Category or CategoryForm model is missing a field book_category which you use here:
category = Category.objects.filter(Q(book_category__icontains = book_category))

As I mentioned in the comments, it looks like both of these fields should be multiple choice, since they are both representing ManyToManyFields in the model.
self.fields['sub_category'] = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(label="Sniffer", queryset=SubCate.objects.filter(main_category=current_categ))
self.fields['sub_location'] = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField (widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple,label="Sniffer", queryset=SubLoc.objects.filter(main_town=current_loc))
Also as mentioned, you need to call save on the model instance, and save_m2m on the form:
if add_ad_mod_form.is_valid():
model_instance = add_ad_mod_form.save(commit=False)
...
model_instance.save()
add_ad_mod_form.save_m2m()
return redirect('dashboard')

and my two relevant models (Deal and Post) where i created a get_absolute_url methods since it had been generating an error on the sitemap prior:
class Deal(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
slug = models.SlugField(max_length=140, unique=True)
description = RichTextUploadingField(default='')
retailer = models.ForeignKey(Retailer, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

upload_to=deal_upload_path,
null=True,
blank=True)

category = models.ForeignKey(Category, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
date_added = models.DateField(default=timezone.now)
date_expires = models.DateField(default=timezone.now)
price = models.CharField(max_length=140)
secondary_price = models.CharField(max_length=140, default='')
likes_total = models.IntegerField(default=1)
expired = models.BooleanField(default=False)
def __str__(self):
return "#{} ({})".format(self.title, self.retailer)

slug = slugify(self.title)
unique_slug = slug
num = 1
while Deal.objects.filter(slug=unique_slug).exists():
unique_slug = '{}-{}'.format(slug, num)
num += 1
return unique_slug
def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
if not self.slug:
self.slug = self._get_unique_slug()
super().save()
def get_label(self):
if self.date_added > datetime.date.today() - datetime.timedelta(days=4):
return "<span class='"'notify-badge'"'>new</span>"
else:
return ''
def get_absolute_url(self):
return reverse('deals:deal_detail', kwargs={'slug': self.slug})
class Post(models.Model):
STATUS_CHOICES = (
('Published', 'Published'),
('Draft', 'Draft'),
)
title = models.CharField(max_length=100, unique=True)
body = RichTextUploadingField()

def save(self, *args, **kwargs):

super(Post, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
def __str__(self):
return self.title
and my urls.py file with relevant info
from django.contrib.sitemaps.views import sitemap
sitemaps = {
'static': StaticViewSitemap,
'blog': BlogSitemap,
'deals': DealSitemap
}
path('sitemap.xml', sitemap,
{'sitemaps': sitemaps},
name='django.contrib.sitemaps.views.sitemap'),

You haven't followed the example properly for the StaticViewSitemap. As the docs say, the elements returned from items() are passed to the location() method; since the items would normally be model instances, the default implementation of this method is to call the get_absolute_url() method of each instance. In your case you are passing URL names, so you need to redefine location() appropriately - again as the example does.
def location(self, item):
return reverse(item)

It's the location() function who request for get_absolute_url() method : here. If you are absolutly sur that your string is already an absolute path you can simply override it in your class by:
def location(self, item) :
return item
This will return your already setup absolut path.
