Hi Josh

Can you post your views as well. method not allowed normally means your trying to post data to a view when it only accepts get request. Make sure your view accepts both GET and POST see below example.

@app.route('/login',methods=['GET','POST'])
def login():
    #do something
from flask import (Flask, g, render_template, flash, redirect, url_for)
from flask.ext.bcrypt import check_password_hash

                             login_required)

login_manager.init_app(app)
login_manager.login_view = 'login'

jinja2.exceptions.TemplateSyntaxError: expected token 'end of print statement', got 'string'

new problem...

is the method not allowed error fixed? in terms of expected token 'end of print statement', got 'string' error does it give you a line number? i cannot see anything wrong with the html you have posted.

That is fixed, the new bug is... (only added {% block 'content' %} instead of {% block content %}

jinja2.exceptions.TemplateSyntaxError: expected token 'name', got 'string'

no line given still...

So are you saying its fixed now ? because you should be using {% block content %} and not {% block 'content' %}

lots of bugs are in the code, copied directly from Kenneth, and using the quotes helped with one!
