Django Bug

1. MultiValueDictKeyError

Possible cause and solutions:

• There is no dict key named ‘user’, or you have a naming conflict.

• In views.py your code

  If you use GET method:

  request.GET.get('user')
  
  #instead of request.GET['user']
  

  If you use POST method:

  request.POST.get('user')
  
  #instead of request.POST['user']
  

2. CSRF verification failed. Request aborted

Possible cause and solutions:

• Add {% csrf_token %}:

  <form action="" method="POST">
  {% csrf_token %}
  ......
  ......
  </form>

• Some solutions may suggest adding two lines in settings.py:

  ‘django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware’,
  ‘django.middleware.csrf.CsrfResponseMiddleware’,

  but there is no need to add these two lines if your django version is above 1.3. You just need to annotate them.

• In views.py use RequestContext instead of Context:

  from django.template import RequestContext
  
  #......
  
  return render_to_response(‘index.html’,
                {'param1′: 'aaa','param2′: 'bbb',},
                context_instance=RequestContext(request)
               )
