Django 'WSGIRequest' object has no attribute 'Post'

Question

I am new to django and I want to make a like button on posts but I have this error. Thank you!

'WSGIRequest' object has no attribute 'Post'

This is my Post model:

    class Post(models.Model):
            created_date = models.DateTimeField()
            title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
            profile_image = models.ImageField(upload_to='poze', blank=True, null=True)
            text = models.CharField(max_length=1000, default='Nimic', blank=True)
            user = models.ForeignKey(UserProfile, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
            likes=models.ManyToManyField(UserProfile,related_name='likes',blank=True )

This is my html template:

{% extends 'base2.html' %}
{% load static %}
{% load rest_framework %}
{% load crispy_forms_tags %}

{% block content %}
{% for post in posts %}
 <form method="post"  class="form-signin">
  <div class="card text-center " style="width: 30rem;">
    <img class="card-img-top" src='' alt="Card image cap">
    <div class="card-body">
 <h5 class="card-title">{{post.title}}</h5>
         <h6 class="card-subtitle mb-2 text-muted">{{ post.created_date}}</h6>
         <p class="card-text">{{post.text}}</p>

        <div class="card-footer text-muted">
            <a href="{% url 'comments' pk=post.id %}" class="card-link">Comments</a>

            <!--<a href="{% url 'like_post' %}" class="card-link" value="{{ post.id }}" name="post_id">Like</a>-->
        </div>


</div>
  </div>
 </form>

<form action="{% url 'like_post' %}" method="post">
    {% csrf_token %}
    <button type="submit" name="post_id" value="{{ post.id}}">Like</button>      //HERE IS THE LIKE BUTTON
</form>

{% endfor %}
{% endblock %}

URL:

  url(r'^like/', login_required(views.LikePost), name='like_post'),

VIEW:

def LikePost(request):
    post=get_object_or_404(Post,id=request.Post.get('post_id'))
    post.likes.add(request.user)
    return HttpResponseRedirect(post.get_absolute_url())

From the Django HttpRequest documentation, we could see there is no attribute Post for request object, but POST does.

So, use request.POST instead of request.Post

post=get_object_or_404(Post,id=request.POST.get('post_id'))

Hence your view be as,

def LikePost(request):
    post = get_object_or_404(Post, id=request.POST.get('post_id'))
    post.likes.add(request.user)
    return HttpResponseRedirect(post.get_absolute_url())
