'str' object has no attribute 'method'

Describe the bug

Form input within 2nd level subpages

Steps to reproduce

-Home page already has form input

• If a sub page of the site has a form input, nothing happens
• When a second level sub page (root-page/1st-level-subpage/2nd-level-subpage) has form input, error triggers.

Expected behavior

The form input should be displayed and works flawlessly, not caring about if it's 1st, 2nd or so on... level of subpages.

Additional context

Exception location: page_models.py line 1356 (if request.method == 'POST':)

def get_form(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        form_class = self.get_form_class()
        form_params = self.get_form_parameters()
        form_params.update(kwargs)
        if request.method == 'POST':
            return form_class(request.POST, request.FILES, *args, **form_params)
        return form_class(*args, **form_params)

I have a page preview block using the form inputs template on the home page that is targeting home/subpage-1/subpage-2. subpage-2 is a Form Page with a text input and a dropdown input. This error is not triggering on coderedcms v.0.16.3. Is there additional context I am missing to replicate the error?

Thanks for the steps to reproduce. Just so I understand clearly...

Home page (Web Page) - contains page preview block of subpage
|- subpage (Form Page) - contains page preview of sub-subpage?
  |- sub-subpage (Form Page)

[jquiroz90]

Home page (Web Page) - contains page preview block of subpage
|- subpage (Web Page) - contains page preview of subpage
|- subpage* (Form Page) - It's hidden
  |- sub-subpage (Article Landing Page) - contains page preview of subpage*

Then home-page and subpage are broken.

[vsalvino]

So subpage contains a preview of itself? If that is the case then it would definitely break. If subpage contains a preview of subpage* then it should work in theory, although it would likely break if subpage* is unpublished.

[jquiroz90]

No, it doesn't contain a preview of itself, form page is another one. But, yes, it's unpublished.

[vsalvino]

Try publishing the page. I believe that is the problem.

[jquiroz90]

I published it but the problem still persists

[vsalvino]

Closing due to inactivity / needs more info to reproduce the problem.

I get the same problem when using form page preview on an article page : 'str' object has no attribute 'method'.

Home page (Web Page) |- subpage (Article Index Page) |- sub-subpage (Article Page) - page preview of form page |- subpage (Form Page)

[pascalthivierge]

I'm using Wagtailtrans, but I doubt it would be the problem.

[pascalthivierge]

I should add that the page preview of a form input on a standard web page works... but not on an article page under article page index.

[vsalvino]

Can you confirm that the site name and port under Settings > Site is correctly set? i.e. it should match your domain (www.example.com) and port (80 for http, 443 for https).

[pascalthivierge]

yes, the hostname match my domain name and using https with port 443

I'm having this issues as well.

-Article Index Page --Article with Form Inputs preview (Sign up for our newsletter) The Article shows the inputs and accepts the form properly, I'm thinking it may have something to do with the index page grabbing the body content of the Article for the text preview.

[Boomacroom]

yes, the hostname match my domain name and using https with port 443

Using the template tag truncatewords, will give the same error. Commenting out the following fixed the issue for me.

{% if self.show_preview_text %}<p>{{article.specific.body_preview}}</p>{% endif %}

[vsalvino]

Interesting, this must be related to trying to fetch child pages of the page while it is in "preview" state (it is technically not a page object during preview, it is some kind of special ephemeral preview object). This has long been a cryptic issue, thanks for investigating!

A fix might be to add a try/except to body_preview() method, or to add special logic during render() of previews.

Run into a similar error message when running a search:

Start condition: there's a page ("Contact") with page preview block, pointing at a form ("Contact Form") ("Contact" and "Contact Form" are both children of "Home"), everything is published, no draft versions.

• Case A) Running a search across the site, with a term that does not gives a match for "Home", Page Preview Template: "Form inputs" -> success, no error, other pages are found
• Case B) Running a search across the site, search term should give a match for "Home", Page Preview Template: "Default" -> no error, other pages plus "Home" are found
• Case C) Running a search across the site, search term should give a match for "Home", Page Preview Template: "Card" -> no error, other pages plus "Home" are found
• Case D) Running a search across the site, search term should give a match for "Home", Page Preview Template: "Form inputs" -> 'str' object has no attribute 'method'

Django Version: 4.0.7 Python Version: 3.9.2 Coderedcms : 1.0.1

The "Contact Form" works otherwise for submission as intended from all Page Previews (with "Form inputs") and in itself as well.

Nonetheless, Coderedcms is some awesome work! Truly appreciated!
