[Answered ]-405 HTML: Method Not Allowed

✅

Your calendar/event/new/ route points to EventView, which only has a get method defined. Posting to a view without a post method will produce a 405 error.

Also, your EditEventView doesn’t edit an event, but instead always creates a new event.

To fix this, you need to do this:

  • Copy the post method in EditEventView to EventView.
  • Change the original post method in EditEventView to only edit existing events:

EventEditView post method:

def post(self, request, event_id):
    instance = get_object_or_404(Event, pk=event_id)
    form = EventForm(request.POST or None, instance=instance)
    if form.is_valid():
        form.save()
        return redirect('main_website_calendar')

You should also implement some error handling in these post requests, but I’ll leave that to you.

EDIT:

EventView post method:

def post(self, request):
        instance = Event()
        form = EventForm(request.POST or None, instance=instance)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            return redirect('main_website_calendar')
