[Solved]-Django : HTML form action directing to view (or url?) with 2 arguments

32👍

✅

You are trying to use the reverse resolution of urls in Django.

In your html file correct form action url to the following and method should be POST:

<form action={% url 'process' %}  method="POST">

In case you are trying to pass parameters along then use this:

<form action={% url 'process' request.user.id 4 %}  method="POST">

Making Django admin display the Primary Key rather than each object's Object type

Yes i’m late but it can help others for better understanding how Django processes the request.

Django 3.0 pattern

How Django processes the request

Basic :

First Django check the matching URL.
If URL is matched then calling the defined view to process the request. (Success)
If URL not matched/found the Django invokes error Page Not Found

In detail reading :

These are your URL patterns :

urlpatterns = [ path('profile/edit/<int:pk>/',views.editprofile, name='editprofile'),]

Third argument in urlpatterns is for if you want to change the url pattern from current to this :

urlpatterns = [ url('profile/edit/user/id/<int:pk>',views.editprofile, name = 'editprofile'),]

You don’t need to redefine url pattern in all Templates where you using url name.

For Example :

This is my template profile.html where i used the url name instead of hard coded url.

<a class="item" href="{% url 'editprofile' user.id %}" >Edit profile </a>

Solution of your problem :

.html

Only use url name instead of hard coded url in your templates and pass arguments.

<form action={% process no_of_arguments  %}  method="POST">

views.py

Here you can process your request

def process(request,no_of_arguments):
