Adding Checkbox to django-tables2 - Key Error

[Thorsten Grahl]

Hi,

Django noob here, am stuck and can not find an example to help me past my error.

Using the tutorial (https://django-tables2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pages/tutorial.html) have managed to display the table.

Could now like to add a checkbox to each row, so the user can select multiple rows and then select a button at the bottom of the table for further processing of those rows.

But am getting following error  Exception Type: Key Error Exception Value: 'selection'

tables.py

import django_tables2 as tables

from .models import Person

class PersonTable(tables.Table):

    class Meta:

        model = Person

        #selection = tables.CheckBoxColumn(accessor="pk", attrs = { "th__input": {"onclick": "toggle(this)"}}, orderable=False)

        selection = tables.CheckBoxColumn(accessor='pk', orderable=False)

        attrs = {'class': 'paleblue'}

        sequence = ('...', 'selection')

views.py

def people(request):

#return render(request, 'application/people.html', {'people': Person.objects.all()})

table = PersonTable(Person.objects.all())

RequestConfig(request).configure(table)

return render(request, 'application/people.html', {'table': table})

Regards,

Thorsten
