[Answered ]-How to edit & save contents from front-end in Django?

I find it easiest to start with how the data should be stored in a db. Start with a Article model:

def Article(models.Model):
    url = models.UrlField()
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200, blank=True)
    html = models.TextField(blank=True)

Than we want title and html be filled if url is given. Write a signal receiver to handle scraping:

@receiver(pre_save, instance, sender=Article)
def scrape(sender, **kwargs):
    if instance.url and not instance.title and not instance.html:
        data = requests.get(instance.url)
        instance.html = BeautifulSoup(data)
        instance.title = instance.html.title.name

If you add a admin, you’re done. But views to display and update the data are also easy to create:

class ArticleDetailView(DetailView):
    model = Article

class ArticleUpdate(UpdateView):
    model = Article

Note: The code needs some work. You also need to write imports, urls and templates.

Finally: there is nothing wrong with third party apps. I don’t own Python, Django, Requests, Beautiful Soup, etc… Even if this is a learning project, it a good thing to NOT reinvent the wheel. Be as lazy as possible. Use tools that do the job for you.

1. find wysiwyg editor like froala, modify field
2. update with ajax.
3. check permissions on server side.
