But also, you may need to hack more the DetailView because it expects an id - and in the case of random you won't have it, you are choosing the id at random. Using a "lower level" CBV, like TemplateView may be easier, but if you can't read https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/topics/class-based-views/intro/ because of the hurry, a FBV will work and it's not a bad option :) > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Django users" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/group/django-users. > To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/ > msgid/django-users/e647327a-6f64-4cb1-a4fc-c5188db010ee%40googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/django-users/e647327a-6f64-4cb1-a4fc-c5188db010ee%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
