How to add object to users unique list?

[raf sandwich]

Hi there. I have a system whereby users are recommended anime, and I want it so when they see anime on the website they can press a button on any anime shown, which will then add it to their 'UserList' which is a saved list that they can go back to and see whenever they want. 

I figure the button just needs to associate the anime.id with the POST request, and then add it to the user that is logged ins user.userlist.anime_in_list but I can't get it to work.

Currently my terminal is displaying the error

Method Not Allowed (POST): /anime/

Method not allowed: /anime/

when the button is pressed

A code break down for my models.py, views.py etc. is available on this reddit post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/djangolearning/comments/t3jwo0/how_to_add_an_object_to_a_users_list_without/

Thanks for any help I'm so stuck and I think it's probably simple!

Hello!

Are you using class-based views? Does your view have a post() method?

I searched the web for `django "method not allowed (POST)"` and this is the first result that came up:

Hi Antonis, 

Yes I saw that stackoverflow post also, but I was not able to resolve my issue with it. I do not need to update a model specific to the user when the user clicks a button, but I can't do it :(

Hello. You need a corresponding URL for your link that's why you're getting reverse error:

path('add/anime/<user>/<pk>/', views.MYVIEW, name='url-to-my-view'>

and then return redirect to your success_url after your enter the data, not return render.

Hello. Thank you, I got it working! wooooooo :D

What do you mean by click of a button? Are you using Ajax or a frontend framework?

You most likely aren't handling the post request on the view that's supposed to add the anime to the user's list
