i created 2 views.in first view rendered categories add in form select menu , 2nd view handling form

views.py

from django.shortcuts import render, redirect .models import article, category  def get_category(request): = category.objects.all() context = {     'get':get } return render(request, 'blog/add.html', context)  def add(request):   if request.method == 'post':     title = request.post['title']     cate = request.post['cat']     desc = request.post['desc']     art = article(title=title, disc=desc, cat=cate)     art.save()      return redirect('blog/index.html') else:     return render(request, 'blog/add.html') 

models.py

from django.db import models  class category(models.model):    cate = models.charfield(max_length=100)  def __str__(self):     return self.cate  class article(models.model):    title = models.charfield(max_length=250)    disc = models.textfield()    cat = models.foreignkey(category, verbose_name="category")    posted = models.datetimefield(auto_now_add=true, editable=false)    updated = models.datetimefield(auto_now=true)    def __str__(self):       return self.title 

urls.py

from django.conf.urls import url .import views  app_name = 'blog'  urlpatterns = [    url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),    url(r'^add/$', views.get_category, name='category'),    url(r'^add/$', views.add, name='add'),  ] 

in case every time action go get_category, because django find first match urls , use action.

you can create 1 function case: in views.py

def category(request):     if request.method == 'post':         title = request.post['title']         # update start         cat = request.post['cat']         cate = category.objects.get(pk=cat)         # update end         desc = request.post['desc']         art = article(title=title, disc=desc, cat=cate)         art.save()         return redirect('blog/index.html')      = category.objects.all()     context = {         'get':get     }     return render(request, 'blog/add.html', context) 

in urls.py

urlpatterns = [    url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),    url(r'^add/$', views.get_category, name='category'),    # !! comment or remove last urls    # url(r'^add/$', views.add, name='add'),  ] 

i edit if , rebuild logic django forms better.
