Question: Your register() view needs to create an instance of the SignUpForm from forms. It should also render and return the register.html template. You'll need to import render_template. In the template's context, name the SignUpForm instance as for
Hey I don't know what i'm doing wrong, I can't even see what the problem it is because it keeps telling me to go back to task 1.
Code:
from flask import Flask, g, render_template
from flask.ext.login import LoginManager
import forms
import models
app = Flask(__name__)
app.secret_key = 'this is our super secret key. do not share it with anyone!'
login_manager = LoginManager()
login_manager.init_app(app)
@login_manager.user_loader
def load_user(userid):
try:
return models.User.select().where(
models.User.id == int(userid)
).get()
except models.DoesNotExist:
return None
@app.route('/register', methods=("GET", "POST"))
def register():
form = forms.SignUpForm()
return render_template('register.html')
@app.before_request
def before_request():
g.db = models.DATABASE
g.db.connect()
@app.after_request
def after_request(response):
g.db.close()
return response

sorry for late reply, I was just going through the old threads...
Have you managed to sort this?
I see you did not return the form inside the render_template inside the return statement.

66,191 PointsNo I still have not solved this challenge

33,371 PointsHave you tried passing the form in as well when you render the template in the end?
Devin Scheu
66,191 PointsDevin Scheu
66,191 PointsHow would I do that?
Vittorio Somaschini
33,371 PointsVittorio Somaschini
33,371 Pointsjust a comma after the template you render (still inside the parenthesis) and "form=form".
The form you are passing is the form you just created with this:
form = forms.SignUpForm()
Let me know if that is the issue

33,371 PointsHey.
I probably did not explain the form thing good enough, I will just paste the code for those lines, it is easier:
It is same as you did, plus passing in the form.
This should get you to stage 3/3.
