Thank you Sam :)

Do you have a separate users list for questions?

In case not, I'm trying to display a page produced with function-based
views. Is there a hint you can offer?

I want the "View on site" button to produce pdf.

Maybe the real question is how do I change from function based views to
class based views - which BTW I don't want to do.

Thanks

Mike

To answer  how do I change from function based views to class based views,

The simplest way to do that is, 

create a view file as below:

from django.views.generic import View

class ViewName(View):

    def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):

        <copy everything you doing inside your view for GET method>

    def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):

        <copy everything you doing inside your view for POST method>

    <similarly do for other methods (PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS etc) if needed>

update urls.py with this view :)

Akhil thank you. I'll bookmark your advice for later. At this point staying with a functional view might be less work. Next views to be written will probably be class based

Cheers

Mike
