Django doesn't redirect to the same page

I'm working on a django project website. When submitting a form I need to save the data and show a message with from django.contrib import messagesmodule. It works perfectly with saving data but it never shows the message and redirecting to the same page.
Views.py class.
def showIndex(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
contact = Contact()
name = request.POST.get('name')
email = request.POST.get('email')
message = request.POST.get('message')
contact.name = name
contact.email = email
contact.message = message
print('yes and no ')
messages.success(request, 'Profile details updated.')
contact.save()
return render(request,'index.html')
return render(request,'index.html')
and this is the codes in index.html. I have created the form here.
<form method="POST" class="u-clearfix u-form-spacing-30 u-form-vertical u-inner-form" style="padding: 10px">
{% csrf_token %}
<div class="u-form-email u-form-group u-form-partition-factor-2">
<label for="email-319a" class="u-label u-text-body-alt-color u-label-1">Email</label>
<input type="email" placeholder="Enter a valid email address" id="email-319a" name="email" class="u-border-2 u-border-no-left u-border-no-right u-border-no-top u-border-white u-input u-input-rectangle" required="" />
</div>
<div class="u-form-group u-form-name u-form-partition-factor-2">
<label for="name-319a" class="u-label u-text-body-alt-color u-label-2">Name</label>
<input type="text" placeholder="Enter your Name" id="name-319a" name="name" class="u-border-2 u-border-no-left u-border-no-right u-border-no-top u-border-white u-input u-input-rectangle" required="" />
</div>
<div class="u-form-group u-form-message">
<label for="message-319a" class="u-label u-text-body-alt-color u-label-3">Message</label>
<textarea placeholder="Enter your message" rows="4" cols="50" id="message-319a" name="message" class="u-border-2 u-border-no-left u-border-no-right u-border-no-top u-border-white u-input u-input-rectangle" required=""></textarea>
</div>
<div class="u-align-left u-form-group u-form-submit">
Submit
<input type="submit" value="submit" class="u-form-control-hidden" />
</div>
</form>
<div>
{%for message in messages%}
{{message}}
{%endfor%}
</div>

You have to pass the messages variable to the render method:
render(request,'index.html', {'messages': messages})

Django - pass multiple HTML form inputs into a view

I have 3 form inputs that will be submitted when one master button is clicked to then be passed into a view as the request parameter. I would like to get the values of first_name, last_name and email inside my view using request.get(). When the button is clicked the values inside my form appear as None
HTML:
<div id="form_content">
<form action="" method="post">
<section class="form_inputs">
<label for="first_name">First Name:</label>
<input type="text" id="first_name">
</section>
<section class="form_inputs">
<label for="last_name">Last Name:</label>
<input type="text" id="last_name">
</section>
<section class="form_inputs">
<label for="email">Email:</label>
<input type="text" id="email">
</section>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</div>
views.py
def home(request):
form_response = request.GET.get("form_content")
print(form_response)
context = {"title": "Home"}
return render(request, "myApp/home.html", context)

first you need to add csrf_token in your code for post method and also give a name for each input like this :
<div id="form_content">
<form action="" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
<section class="form_inputs">
<label for="first_name">First Name:</label>
<input type="text" name="first_name" id="first_name">
</section>
<section class="form_inputs">
<label for="last_name">Last Name:</label>
<input type="text" name="last_name" id="last_name">
</section>
<section class="form_inputs">
<label for="email">Email:</label>
<input type="text" name="email" id="email">
</section>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</div>
and then:
def home(request):
first_name = request.POST['first_name']
last_name = request.POST['last_name']
email = request.POST['email']
print(first_name, last_name, email)
context = {"title": "Home"}
return render(request, "myApp/home.html", context)

In your input tags, you have not passed the name parameter. Pass the name parameter in your input tags, as Django collects the data from the name tags.
For example, in your case, it must be:
<input type="text" id="id_first_name" name="first_name">
<input type="text" id="id_last_name" name="last_name">
<input type="text" id="id_email" name="email">

How to fix "Method not allowed" error in Python Flask app

I have a defined route in my Python Flask app(which worked fine).
#app.route('/insertpage', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def index():
if request.method == 'POST':
companyname = request.form['companyname']
username = request.form['username']
userpass = request.form['password']
new_company= Grocery(companyname=companyname,
username=username, userpass=userpass)
try:
db.session.add(new_company)
db.session.commit()
return render_template('index.html', data=Todos.query.all())
except:
return "The problem occurred while adding a new company...."
else:
groceries = Grocery.query.order_by(Grocery.created_at).all()
return render_template('index.html', groceries=groceries)
And I am collecting information in my HTML page:
<form action="/" method="POST">
<div class="form-row">
<div class="col-sm-3 my-1">
<label for="newStuff" class="sr-only">New company:</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="companyname" id="newStuff" placeholder="Enter name of new company">
</div>
<div class="col-sm-3 my-1">
<label for="newStuff" class="sr-only">New username:</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="username" id="newStuff" placeholder="Enter username...">
</div>
<div class="col-sm-3 my-1">
<label for="newStuff" class="sr-only">New password:</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="password" id="newStuff" placeholder="Enter password...">
</div>
<div class="col-sm-3 my-1">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-block">Add</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
After a couple of successful CRUD operations, I am facing the following error(even if I defined 'POST' and 'GET' in my def).
Method Not Allowed
The method is not allowed for the requested URL.

The action attribute of your HTML form needs to match the name of your Flask route.
Your page is sending a POST to url '/' , so it isn't hitting your route, which is for the path '/insertpage'
You should change it to <form action="/insertpage" method="POST">

can't get the POST parameters in django

I am trying to make a login-page using django, I am facing troubles in getting POST parameters
login view:
def ProcLogin(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
account_name = request.POST.get('username','')
password = ToMd5(request.POST.get('password',''))
if not account_name or not password: return HttpResponse("invalid input")
template code:
<form method="post" action="{% url 'Main:login' %}" class="login_form">
{% csrf_token %}
<div class="form-group text-right">
<label for="username">User name:</label>
<input id="username" type="text" class="form-control box_shadow">
</div>
<div class="form-group text-right">
<label for="password">Password: </label>
<input id="password" type="password" class="form-control box_shadow">
</div>
<button type="submit" class="login_btn"></button>
</form>
Output when testing it:
invalid input
everything is supposed to be correct except the results aren't. Thank you.

django ModelForms and normal form in POST request

Hi i just have a small doubt can we create a HTML template which will have the Django form and normal HTML form together.
I created a HTML template which has both normal HTML input tag and Django forms.
I am getting the following error when i do a form.save(commit=False)
could not be created because the data didn't validate.
My view.py
if request.method == 'POST':
form_value = request.POST.copy()
print form_value
form = InfoForm(data=request.POST)
post_val = form.save(commit=False)
my HTML
<div class="form-row">
<div class="form-group col-md-4">
{{form.name}}
</div>
<div class="form-group col-md-4">
{{form.number}}
</div>
<div class="form-group col-md-4">
{{form.location}}
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="Feedback">Feedback</label>
<div id="Feedback" class="optionBox1">
<div class="input-group my-add-div">
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="feedback" required>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="feedback" required>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="feedback" required>
</div>
</div>
</div>
my form.py
class InfoForm(forms.ModelForm):
name = forms.CharField(label='Project Name',max_length=100,widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'class':'form-control','placeholder':'Click to enter text',}))
number = forms.DecimalField(label='Project #',widget=forms.NumberInput(attrs={'class':'form-control','placeholder':'Enter the ID',}))
location = forms.CharField(label='Location',max_length=100,widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'class':'form-control','placeholder':'Enter the Location',}))
class Meta:
model = Info
field = ('name','number','location',)
My Model.py
name = models.CharField(max_length=200,blank=True , null=True)
number = models.IntegerField(blank=True , null=True)
location = models.CharField(max_length=200,blank=True , null=True)
feedback = ArrayField(ArrayField(models.CharField(max_length=200,blank=True,null=True)))
Thanks in advance

You need to first call form.is_valid() to use save method on the form.

All what you need to create any form in template you want, example:
``
<form action="." method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
<input type="text" name="first_name">
<p><input type='submit' value="Change"></p>
</form> ``
then, in your view call
first_name = request.POST['first_name']
and it will be works fine.
