delete button

[Delvin Alexander]

Hello everyone,

i am having trouble. i created a delete button but my page does not confirm the deletion of the post, nor does it redirect to another page. may someone help guide me on what it is i have done wrong and explain for me please?

- I feel as though the problem could be located in my views.py but not sure

Here is my views.py:

from django.shortcuts import render

from django.contrib.auth.mixins import LoginRequiredMixin, UserPassesTestMixin

from django.views.generic import ListView, DetailView, CreateView, UpdateView, DeleteView

from .models import Post

def home(request):

    context = {

        'posts': Post.objects.all()

    }

    return render(request, 'blog/home.html', context)

class PostListView(ListView):

    model = Post

    template_name = 'blog/home.html'

    context_object_name = 'posts'

    ordering = ['-date_posted']

class PostDetailView(DetailView):

    model = Post

   

   

class PostCreateView(LoginRequiredMixin, CreateView):

    model = Post

    fields = ['title', 'content']

   

    def form_valid(self, form):

        form.instance.author = self.request.user

        return super().form_valid(form)

   

class PostUpdateView(LoginRequiredMixin, UserPassesTestMixin, UpdateView):

    model = Post

    fields = ['title', 'content']

   

    def form_valid(self, form):

        form.instance.author = self.request.user

        return super().form_valid(form)

   

    def test_func(self):

        post = self.get_object()

        if self.request.user == post.author:

            return True

        return False

   

class PostDeleteView(LoginRequiredMixin, UserPassesTestMixin, DeleteView):

    model = Post

    success_url = 'blog'

   

    def test_func(self):

        post = self.get_object()

        if self.request.user == post.author:

            return True

        return False

def about(request):

    return render(request, 'blog/about.html', {'title': 'About'})

Here is my urls.py:

from django.urls import path

from .views import PostListView, PostDetailView, PostCreateView, PostUpdateView, PostDeleteView

from . import views

urlpatterns = [

    path('', PostListView.as_view(), name='blog-home'),

    path('post/<int:pk>/', PostDetailView.as_view(), name='post-detail'),

    path('post/new/', PostCreateView.as_view(), name='post-create'),

    path('post/<int:pk>/update/', PostUpdateView.as_view(), name='post-update'),

    path('post/<int:pk>/delete/', PostDeleteView.as_view(), name='post-delete'),

    path('about/', views.about, name='blog-about'),

]

And here is my post_confirm_delete.html:

{% extends "blog/base.html" %}

{% block content %}

    <div class="content-section">

            {% csrf_token %}

            <fieldset class="form-group">

                <legend class="border-bottom mb-4">Delete Post</legend>

                <h2>Are you sure you want to delete this post? "{{ object.title }}"</h2>

            </fieldset>

            <div class="form-group">

                <button class="btn btn-outline-danger" type="submit">Yes, Delete</button>

                <a class="btn btn-outline-secondary" href="{% url 'post-detail' object.id %}">Cancel</a>  

            </div>

        </form>

    </div>  

{% endblock content %}

What is `test_func()`?

In addition, if you want people to help you, it would be a good idea to help them by giving them the smallest possible amount of code that reproduces the problem. (In fact, whenever I do that, in about 50% of cases I solve the problem myself during the reduction process.)

Regards,

Antonis

test func is a function that my 'User' passes tests mixins runs in django.

Also thank you for informing me to include less. I put 3 files there because i thought someone would have needed it.

I wasn't clear enough. You should include the entire code that reproduces the problem. Remove stuff from your code until you can't remove any more, while the problem is still there.
