python - get_or_create not creating object from POST form -

trying create object get_or_create(). response hits, never creates object.

python code:

class note(models.model):      user = models.foreignkey(user)      topic = models.charfield(max_length=500, null=true, blank=true)      created = models.datetimefield(auto_now_add=true)      content = models.textfield(null=true, blank=true)      type = models.foreignkey(notetype, null=true, blank=true)      def __unicode__(self):         return self.topic  def post(request):      topic = request.post['topic']      user = request.user       content = request.post['content']      note_type = request.post['type']       note, created = note.objects.get_or_create(user=user, topic=topic, content=content, type=note_type)       return httpresponseredirect('/home/') 

so exception hits , never creates object. urls fine , i'm importing model. reason why object isn't being created? theres no errors, redirects normal.

thank in advance.

i assume storing list of various note types in notetype model...

to make code work, first going need 1 of them model , set use when creating new note

note_type = request.post['type']  note_type_orm = notetype.objects.get(type=note_type)  note, created = note.objects.get_or_create(user=user, topic=topic, content=content, type=note_type_orm) 

notice change in get_or_create using note_type_orm , not note_type (which string)
