Thanks Mat-A3K
Here's what I have so far...
*models.py*
class Post(models.Model):
post_id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
.... all the other fields...
*views.py*
#Normal (not random) post detail view
class PostDetailView(DetailView):
model = Post
template_name = 'blog/post_detail.html'
# Random view
def random_post(request):
post_ids = Post.objects.all().values_list('post_id', flat=True)
random_obj = Post.objects.get(id=random.choice(post_ids))
context = {'random_obj':random_obj,}
return render(request, 'blog/random_post.html', context)
*urls.py*
urlpatterns = [
....
path('post/<int:pk>/', views.PostDetailView.as_view(),
name='post_detail'), ### I included this to show my normal Post Detail view
path('post/<int:pk>/', views.random_post, name='random_post'),
....
]
The error I'm getting now has to do with template rendering. I am confused
about what I should be using and where - id, post_id, pk, etc.
Reverse for 'random_post' with no arguments not found. 1 pattern(s) tried:
['post\\/random\\/(?P<id>[0-9]+)\\/$']
Please help me figure out my urlpattern, and corrections to my view. I think we
are very close!
