Slug not working

[Aakash Baranwal]

Hi Everybody,

This is my models.py file:

from django.db.models.signals import pre_save

from django.utils.text import slugify

from django.db import models

from django.conf import settings

from django import forms

# Create your models here.

class Video(models.Model):

    Video_Description= models.CharField(max_length=500)

    slug = models.SlugField(unique=True)

    videofile= models.FileField(upload_to='videos/', null=True, verbose_name="")

    timestamp   = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

    class Meta:

    ordering = ['-timestamp']

    def get_absolute_url(self):

    return reverse ("video:detail", kwargs={"slug":self.slug})

    def __str__(self):

        return self.Video_Description + ": " + str(self.id)

def create_slug(instance, new_slug=None):

slug = slugify(instance.Video_Description)

if new_slug is not None:

slug = new_slug

qs = Video.objects.filter(slug=slug).order_by("-id")

exists = qs.exists()

if exists:

new_slug = "%s-%s" %(slug, qs.first().id)

return create_slug(instance, slug=new_slug)

return slug

def pre_save_video_receiver(sender, instance, *args, **kwargs):

if not instance.slug:

instance.slug = create_slug(instance)

pre_save.connect(pre_save_video_receiver, sender=Video)

The problem I am facing is, slug field appears in the admin and unfortunately in the create page where I am uploading the videos.

However, in the url it is not coming, also in the create page, I have to enter the slug manually. I want it to take whatever input was given to t video_description in the models.py file and it should disappear from the create post page. 

Kindly help me.

With Kind Regards

Hello Sir,

As of now, I haven't thought of making any tutorials as I am just learning.

Hi Aakash, it' a bit difficult to read it in the email, could you paste it in a pastebin/github or any code snippet share app?

As far as I can see here, you are not adding the slug to the url in your website, so django cannot map your url to your code. It's better if you share a github repository or at least your urls.py.

Cheers,
