What could possibly be the course of this exception UnboundLocalError at /group/share/42/ when i try sharing post of another user in a group.The exception trace seems to be on the the first line of the forloop ( new = new_post.video.add(img) ) Here is my view for users to share post
def share_post(request, pk):
original_post = Post.objects.get(pk=pk)
form = ShareForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
new_post = Post(
shared_body = request.POST.get('description'),
description = original_post.description,
username = original_post.username,
date_posted = original_post.date_posted,
shared_on = timezone.now(),
shared_user = request.user)
new_post.save()
for img in original_post.video:
shared = new_post.video.add(img)
shared.save()
return redirect('group:main',original_post.group.pk)
Here is my model Post.
>Solution :
new_post will only be assigned a value if the form is valid, so you should indent the for loop:
def share_post(request, pk):
original_post = Post.objects.get(pk=pk)
form = ShareForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
new_post = Post(
shared_body = request.POST.get('description'),
description = original_post.description,
username = original_post.username,
date_posted = original_post.date_posted,
shared_on = timezone.now(),
shared_user = request.user
)
new_post.save()
for img in original_post.video:
new_post.video.add(img)
return redirect('group:main',original_post.group.pk)
