I'm trying to put in a checkbox in a website, but I can't get it to work. I put in this HTML code in the template:

<td><label for="id_membership">Commitee:</label>
    <input type="checkbox" name="membership?" id="membership" /> </td>
<td><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></td>

and threw this code in the place where of the rest of the code for that page was being done:

   membership = forms.BooleanField(required=False, label="Membership")
 
  if membership:
    u.membership = True 

and because the rest of the data about the people was being stored in the default user thing that Django provides, i tried to write this "add-on for it"

class ReaderAddOn(models.Model):
   membership = models.BooleanField()
   user = models.ForeignKey(User, unique=True)

I'm sure the code i posted isn't helpful, so i'm more just looking for how to do it, not so much why my code isn't working. Thanks!

So, i'm working through the tutorial, but i'm having a problem with
the unicode method that you put in the model in the part 1 writing your own apps. I've copied
the code to the letter (I think), but it still only returns <Poll:Poll object>
instead <Poll: Whats Up?>. Any ideas why this could be happening?

Here is my code:

from django.db import models

import datetime

class Poll(models.Model):
	question = models.CharField(max_length=200)
	pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published')
	def _unicode_(self):
		return self.question
	def was_published_today (self):
		return self.pub_date.date() == datetime.date.today()

class Choice(models.Model):
	poll = models.ForeignKey(Poll)
	choice = models.CharField(max_length=200)
	votes = models.IntegerField()
	def _unicode_(self):
		return self.choice

and here is what happens
