django-class-based-views

I am trying to program a Django CreateView (CBV), which takes instead of the user id the user email and determines (or creates) the user based on the email. My model does not contain anything special: class Project(models.Model): name = models.CharField(_('Title'), max_length=100,) user = models.ForeignKey(User, verbose_name=_('user'),) ... My forms.py adds the additional email field to the form: class ProjectCreateForm(forms.ModelForm): email = forms.EmailField(required=True, ) class Meta: model = Project fields = ('name', ...,) In my views.py, I am trying to determine if the user exists or

Following the comment on the accepted answer on django createview how to get the object that is created , I am attempting to use the id from a user created by a CreateView in its get_success_url method. However, even though it is definitely being saved to MySQL and receiving an id, when I access self.object , it doesn't have an id to use. The model does have an id property. Why wouldn't I be able to access the id? If I'm being led astray by the linked comment, what is the right way to get the id? Reference code: models.py from django.db import models class User(models.Model): id = models

Works like a charm: MyCreateView(CreateView): template_name = "my_template_name" form_class = MyModelForm success_url = "/success/" But the following doesn't: MyUpdateView(UpdateView): template_name = "my_template_name" form_class = MyModelForm success_url = "/success/" I get this error: MyUpdateView is missing a queryset. Define MyUpdateView.model, MyUpdateView.queryset, or override MyUpdateView.get_queryset(). Why does an UpdateView need model , queryset or get_queryset defined to not cause an error while CreateView doesn't? Shouldn't it be able to automatically derive it from the Model used

Hi Stackoverflow people, I am working with class based views and for a test site, I followed the documentation to setup the class based views. For a project site (based on the project model below), I just want to create a quick CRUD application for the simple project model below. models.py class Project(models.Manager): name = models.CharField(_('Name of the Project'), max_length = 100,) slug = models.SlugField(max_length=100,) ... views.py from django.views.generic.edit import CreateView, UpdateView, DeleteView from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse_lazy from project.models import

I would like to pass a number to my generic view (DetailView) to get one object Here is my code Urlpattern (r'^newreportview/(?P<number>\w+)/$', NewReportView.as_view()), View Class class NewReportView(DetailView): template_name = "report/newreportview.html" context_object_name = "newreportview" def get_queryset(self): task= get_object_or_404(MyTask,applicationnnumber=self.args[0]) return task I guess something is wrong in this line name = get_object_or_404(MyTask,applicationnnumber=self.args[0]) error message: Exception Type: IndexError Exception Value: tuple index out of range How should I

I want to implement Bootstrap3 tabs in my app, which displays school data by state. So if you go to example.com/ma/ you will see information for the state of Massachusetts and tabs to sort by grade level. I am already using the queryset to filter by state so that on example.com/ma/ only "ma" results appear. And I can show ALL data in one of the tabs, but can't filter it out for multiple tabs. To keep it simple, I just want to do tabs for "All" and "High School" here. Here is my models.py : from django.db import models class School(models.Model): school_name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
