When I enter a symbol (stockticker) on my quote page, when I click "submit" the website redirects me to a register page error (403: Must Provide Username)
Why would this happen? I don't even see any mention of /register on my implementation of /quote.
@app.route("/quote", methods=["GET", "POST"])
@login_required
def quote():
"""Get stock quote."""
if request.method == "POST":
# Ensure a stock ticker was submitted
if not request.form.get("symbol"):
return apology("must provide ticker", 403)
# User reached route via GET (as by clicking a link or via redirect)
else:
return render_template("quote.html")
Here's my implementation of /register if that helps.
@app.route("/register", methods=["GET", "POST"])
def register():
"""Register user"""
# User reached route via POST (as by submitting a form via POST)
if request.method == "POST":
# Ensure username was submitted
if not request.form.get("username"):
return apology("must provide username", 403)
# Ensure password was submitted
elif not request.form.get("password"):
return apology("must provide password", 403)
# Ensure confirmation was submitted
elif not request.form.get("confirmation"):
return apology("must provide confirmation", 403)
# Ensure password and confirmation match
elif not request.form.get("password") == request.form.get("confirmation"):
return apology("Passwords do not match!", 403)
# Encrypt password
hash = generate_password_hash(request.form.get("password"), method='pbkdf2:sha256', salt_length=8)
# Inserts username and password into database. value of result will be the users user_id
result = db.execute("INSERT INTO users (username, hash) VALUES(:username, :hash)", username=request.form.get("username"), hash=hash)
if not result:
return apology("Username already exists")
# Log the user in
session["user_id"] = result
# Redirect user to home page
return redirect("/")
# User reached route via GET (as by clicking a link or via redirect)
else:
return render_template("register.html")
