@fallen bison

#

customer/3/change/

#

thats what the ending of the URL looks like

fallen bison
#

But that's for admin

#

I thought you were using custom views

karmic lake
#

didnt know there was a difference

#

so i wanted to use it from that spot in the screen shot

#

how would i do that a

fallen bison
#

Nope, there's a difference

#

Django admin provides custom crud

#

By default

karmic lake
#

so all that logic and code i wrote in template

#

would that be at a specific URL ? i just copy paste and type it or ? im confused

fallen bison
#

You can make a lot of things with Django admin

#

But it's pretty limited

#

Just basic cruds and some things for adding data to your database faster

karmic lake
#

damm

#

so like where do we use the custom views like idk how to view what i been writing so far

fallen bison
#

When using custom views you can make a lot of things with Django

#

Are you following a tutorial or are you creating something for a client?

#

Or just learning?

karmic lake
#

learning which should eventually lead to making something for someone to use

#

so the custom views are triggered by HTTP responses
so as long as i type the URL it will trigger the functions in VIEWS which will then render the template i was making yes?

#

i thought before that me clicking buttons in django admin would lead me to those templates i was making

#

but ill read up on it thanks

fallen bison
#

Why won't you start with a tutorial from Django girls?

karmic lake
#

sure

#

ill check it out

#

i mean before on my own
i used import to my admin.py and i imported my Order and Customer classes and it showed me as i expected there in admin panel

fallen bison
#

Yep

karmic lake
fallen bison
#

Nope

karmic lake
#

what is it

fallen bison
karmic lake
#

alright crazy how i didnt realize there was something other then the admin panel haha
always learn something new

#

anyways ill take sometime going over those tutorials they got pictures and seem easy to follow thanks for all the help ill reach back out if i need anything else in future bro 👍

fallen bison
#

Cool

#

Good luck

#

I trust you'll be fine

karmic lake
#

@fallen bison you free?

fallen bison
#

kinda

karmic lake
#

aigt

#

so i read through the django girls thing

#

and it told me most of the stuff i already know general takes on views urls templates models and admin panel

#

the other official documentation was confusing to me as to what exactly it allows

#

it showed me a section to which i had to edit my already congifured apps.py to include some new code as well as my installed_APPS section

fallen bison
#

yep 😄 that's cool

karmic lake
#

lmao had to step away 😭 im back now tho

#

after i made the changes tho no direct way to use my custom views other then what i been doing already? like for example it showed me section for altering the defualt django admin panel with some attributes like **AdminSite.site_header¶ **

attribute and the likes

#

but it seems limited i dont see how this connects to me solving the whole custom view i wanted to generate

fallen bison
#

i don't understand

#

What do you hope to achieve, and what steps have you taken so far?

karmic lake
#

what i am trying to do = configure my django project to let me design a customizable django.admin section

what have i done so far = followed documentation but ran in to some errors/misunderstandings

for instance

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.apps.SimpleAdminConfig.default_site

" ** If you are using a custom AdminSite, it is common to import all of the ModelAdmin subclasses into your code and register them to the custom AdminSite. In that case, in order to disable auto-discovery, you should put 'django.contrib.admin.apps.SimpleAdminConfig' instead of 'django.contrib.admin' in your INSTALLED_APPS setting.**"

#

so confused what is django.contrib.admin supposed to be changed to ?

#

@fallen bison hey again
so that article was good i learned a lot

#

i am stuck on how to auto populate the customer in question in my template

#

for example
i have selected said customer already
in the URL the ID of the customer is there
yet in my template there is a drop down and it wants me to select from a list of customers which customer the order should be linked to

even tho in my view function i already wrote code to handle that

my template is being stubborn and wants me to re select a customer even tho there id is in the URL and i made a function to handle that

# 
def create_order(request, customer_id):
    customer = get_object_or_404(Customer, id=customer_id)
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = OrderForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            order = form.save(commit=False)
            order.customer = customer
            order.save()
            return redirect('create_order', customer_id=order.customer.id)

    else:
        form = OrderForm(initial={'customer': customer})
    return render(request, 'orders/order_form.html', {'form': form})


TEMPLATE:
{% if message %}
    <p>{{ message }}</p>
{% endif %}
<table>
<form method="post">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form.as_p }}
    <input type="hidden" name="customer" value="{{ customer }}">
    <input type="submit" value="Create">
</form>
</table>
