Django add / remove form without multiple submit

Question

I want a simple edit / remove form in Django.

I want it to look like:

Item A   edit  /   remove
Item B   edit  /   remove
Item C   edit  /   remove
<         


        

Answer 1

You would probably do better not using a Form to achieve this, as there are (from what you've described) no form elements required.

Instead you could have a setup in which your urls.py has 2 urls,

url(r'^app/edit/(?P.*)$', edit_view, name='item_edit'),
url(r'^app/remove/(?P.*)$', remove_view, name='item_remove'),

And the interface you described above is generated by a template which simply uses {% url %} tag to make hyperlinks to those addresses. Say, for example, you are passing the variable 'items' in your context, you template code would look like this

{% for item in items %}
    
{% endfor %}

      
{{item.name}}
      
{% url 'item_edit' item.id %}
      
{% url 'item_remove' item.id %}
    

...or something to all that effect...
