django use Pk field in a url

Question

I have created a pk field(not automatically created by the model). when I want to use this pk name(in my case school_id) I got this error:

Generic detail vie         


        

Answer 1

Add pk_url_kwarg = 'school_pk' to view SchoolDetailView. By default it is set to pk.

class SchoolDetailView(DetailView):
    context_object_name = 'school'
    model = models.School
    template_name = 'basic_app/school_detail.html'
    pk_url_kwarg = 'school_pk'
