I just started learning Django for my new Forum project, I'm trying to find it out myself but this problem has been bothering me since 2 days. I am trying to make a registration validation for my form, I am using messages.error(request, "Text") to make an error appear on screen, but it doesn't work, and just shows nothing.
Here is a part of my HTML code:
<div class="limiter">
<div class="container-login100" style="background:black;">
<div class="wrap-login100">
<form class="login100-form validate-form" method='POST' action="{% url 'users:register' %}" >
{% csrf_token %}
<span class="login100-form-logo">
<i class="zmdi zmdi-landscape"></i>
</span>
<span class="login100-form-title p-b-34 p-t-27">
Register
</span>
<div class="wrap-input100 validate-input" data-validate = "Enter username">
<input class="input100" type="text" name="username" placeholder="Username" required>
<span class="focus-input100" data-placeholder=""></span>
</div>
<div class="wrap-input100 validate-input" data-validate="Enter password">
<input class="input100" type="password" name="pass" placeholder="Password" required>
<span class="focus-input100" data-placeholder=""></span>
</div>
<div class="wrap-input100 validate-input" data-validate="Confirm password">
<input class="input100" type="password" name="pass-confirm" placeholder="Confirm Password" required>
<span class="focus-input100" data-placeholder=""></span>
</div>
<div class="wrap-input100 validate-input" data-validate="Enter Email">
<input class="input100" type="email" name="mail" placeholder="E-Mail" required>
<span class="focus-input100" data-placeholder=""></span>
</div>
<div class="container-login100-form-btn">
<button class="login100-form-btn">
Register
</button>
</div>
<div class="text-center p-t-90">
<a class="txt1" href="login">
Already registered?
</a>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Here is my views.py register function:
def register(request):
if request.method == "POST":
username = request.POST["username"]
password = request.POST["pass"]
password_confirm = request.POST["pass-confirm"]
email = request.POST["mail"]
print("UserName : ", username)
print('Email : ', email)
print('Password : ', password)
print('Password Confirm : ', password_confirm)
if len(username) < 7:
# print works, so I know that these POST variables are successfully transmitted.
print('Username must be more than 10 char.')
messages.error( #messages.error won't show up.
request, "Username must be more than 10 char.", 'red')
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('users:register'))
if len(password) < 8:
print("Your password is too short")
messages.error(request, "Your password is too short.", 'red')
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('users:register'))
if (password != password_confirm):
print("Passwords don't match")
messages.error(request, "Passwords don't match.", 'red')
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('users:register'))
else:
messages.success(request, "Success! form submitted.", 'green')
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('users:register'))
return render(request, 'users/register.html')
Styling for messages.error:
.green{
color:green;
font-size:1.3rem;
}
.red{
color:red;
font-size:1.3rem;
}
Please tell me if I am doing this completly wrong, I am not using the POST API from Django since I don't know how to apply my custom styling to it.
