CSRF verification failed. Request aborted
You may have missed adding the following to your form:
{% csrf_token %}
Use the render
shortcut which adds RequestContext
automatically.
from django.http import HttpResponsefrom django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404, renderfrom steps_count.models import Top_Listfrom steps_count.forms import Top_List_Formdef index(request): if request.method == 'POST': #form = Top_List_Form(request.POST) return HttpResponse("Do something") # methods must return HttpResponse else: top_list = Top_List.objects.all().order_by('total_steps').reverse() #output = ''.join([(t.name+'\t'+str(t.total_steps)+'\n') for t in top_list]) return render(request,'steps_count/index.html',{'top_list': top_list})
When you found this type of message , it means CSRF token missing or incorrect. So you have two choices.
For POST forms, you need to ensure:
Your browser is accepting cookies.
In the template, there is a {% csrf_token %} template tag inside each POST form that targets an internal URL.
The other simple way is just commented one line (NOT RECOMMENDED)('django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware') in MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES from setting tab.
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = ( 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware', 'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware', # 'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware', 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware', 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.SessionAuthenticationMiddleware', 'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware', 'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
)
