Need "edit" and "delete" buttons on each line of a rendered table

[Bill Beal]

Hi All,

I'm trying to render a table and have an EDIT
button and a DELETE button on each line, like:

ID number ID type EDIT DELETE

and identify which line is to be EDITed
or DELETEd. I tried to create a unique name
for each button, like:

<input type="submit" name={{ "edit " + forloop.counter }}
value="EDIT" />

but the template language won't let me add.
Is there a simpler way to know which line
the submit came from, that works?
Or even a complicated way that works?

Hi,

I'm doing the exact same thing. What i do is i add the id of the object of a row to the url that the button is linking to.
Then I use urls.py and views.py to identify that id and delete or add the object.

cheers

Thanks, I'll try that.

This a good application for named urls with passing arguments.

for example, given a urls.py containing

url(r'^edit/(?P<item_id>[0-9]+)/$', edit_item, name="edit_item"),

in your template you can do this:

{% for item in item_query %}
<tr>
<td><a href="{% url edit_item item_id=item.pk %}">Edit</a></td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}

Hope that helps! Named urls are the preferred DRY method too and so
easy to use!

Thanks, now I don't have to do the hard work as a noob.
