Hi,
New to Django, and am really really struggling which something maybe others
may find really easy..
I've created a custom database model, and the subsequent modelform template
to enable creating a record and storing to database.
However I am struggling to create two instances, where the user, retrieves
a specific record created by them and can edit or delete this via a
template.
My setup is as follows:
I have a url. In the body I have called each of the record to display with
the objects. I then added a button for edit and delete to each record.
My thought process was if the user presses the edit button, the user is
directed to a URL which enables them to edit any of the existing objects
details
specifically around that record, and the edit url recognises the PK, and
takes the user to only edit that record with that PK.
Once in the modelform, they can see all the object related data, i.e name =
John , Surname = Smith ... they can then change the data, and submit it
to the database. The record is then stored with new data and same PK, into
the databse and the user is then
redirected to the records overview page, to determine the next step, edit
another record or delete.
-- This is my button setup for the edit -
template.
<div>
<a href="{% /editbusiness %}" type="button" class="btn btn-primary
btn-sm">Edit</button"></a>
--- This is url path to get to the edit record url ---
path('Business register/Business management/Admin/Edit or remove
business/editbusiness', views.editbusiness, name='editbusiness'),
--- This is the view I have created to extract retrieve the post request
and render it to the editing template,
def editbusiness(request):
data = Businessownercreate.objects.all()
if request.method == "POST":
form = Businessownercreate(request.POST, instance=instance)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return redirect("accounts:editremovebusiness")
else:
form = forms.Businessownercreate()
args = { "form": form }
return render(request, 'editbusiness.html', args)
--- This is the template that allows the user to edit the record via a
modelform, based on the original Businessownercreate form, which just
creates the nentity record.
{% load static %}
<div class="container">
<br>
<form method="POST">
{% csrf_token %}
{{form.as_p}}
<br>
<button class="btn" type = "submit">submit</button>
</form>
Sorry for the long mail, and the detail, but it's tough starting out with a
project, and im jut trying to grow and learn.
Please can anyone provide any guidance on how I can resolve to pull the
data to the edit modelform from the database and save the data, with final
redirect.
Best,
K
