DJANGO - call view.py function with HTML button click

I want to be able to CRUD data from my django-db through the view.py.
{% extends 'home/base.html' %}
{% load crispy_forms_tags %}
{% block content %}
<form method="POST" action ="{% url 'twitter' %}" enctype="multipart/form-data">
{% csrf_token %}
<fieldset="form-group">
<legend class="border-bottom mb-4">Twitter Information</legend>
{{ tw|crispy }}
</fieldset>
<div class="form-group">
</form>
<div class="form-group">
<button class="btn btn-outline-info" type="submit">Submit</button>
<button class="btn btn-info" type="submit">Update</button>
<button class="btn btn-dark" type="reset">Reset</button>
Delete
</form>
{% endblock content %}
twitter_container.twitter-edit is a view in my view.py. I'm trying to call this function on button clicked.

In order to call a function in views.py with HTML button, you need to use AJAX in javascript.

Why the html custom form is not working django

I have a contact page with a simple form.
Here is views.py:
def contact_view(request):
if request.method == 'GET':
form = ContactForm()
else:
form = ContactForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
subject = form.cleaned_data['subject']
from_email = form.cleaned_data['from_email']
message = form.cleaned_data['message']
try:
send_mail(subject, message, from_email, settings.ADMIN_EMAILS)
except BadHeaderError:
return HttpResponse('Invalid header found.')
return redirect('success')
return render(request, "base/contact.html", {'form': form})
def success_view(request):
return HttpResponse('Success! Thank you for your message.')
this is contact.html:
{% block content%}
<main class="page contact-page">
<section class="portfolio-block contact">
<div class="container">
<div class="heading">
<h2>Contact me</h2>
</div>
<form method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
<div class="mb-3"><label class="form-label" for="name">Your Name</label><input class="form-control item" type="text" id="name"></div>
<div class="mb-3"><label class="form-label" for="subject">Subject</label><input class="form-control item" type="text" id="subject"></div>
<div class="mb-3"><label class="form-label" for="email">Email</label><input class="form-control item" type="email" id="email"></div>
<div class="mb-3"><label class="form-label" for="message">Message</label><textarea class="form-control item" id="message"></textarea></div>
<div class="mb-3"><button class="btn btn-primary btn-lg d-block w-100" type="submit" value="submit">Submit Form</button></div>
</form>
</div>
</section>
</main>
{% endblock %}
When I use form.as_p it works very well but when I use this template it is not working
it only shows in the terminal that a post request was made.

The html looping syntax of form is following, where we have access to specific field, field.label ,non_field_errors as well as particular field errors.
In your case you can use in this way:
contact.html
{% block content%}
<main class="page contact-page">
<section class="portfolio-block contact">
<div class="container">
<div class="heading">
<h2>Contact me</h2>
</div>
<form method="POST" novalidate>
{% csrf_token %}
{% if form.non_field_errors %}
{% for error in form.non_field_errors %}
<div>
{{error}}
</div>
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
{% for field in form %}
<p>{{field.label_tag}} {{field}}</p>
<br>
{% for error in field.errors %}
<span>{{error}}</span>
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
<input type="submit" value="Save">
</form>
</div>
</section>
</main>
{% endblock %}
You can use it as above it will work perfectly with your existing views, as you said it is working with form.as_p.
If you give only form.as_p, it will render form fields in <p> tag of html, you can see through Ctrl+U of view page source,there we cannot have more control over form.
Your question -- How can i use bootstrap's classes in django's form?
Answer - You can set through widget in your form's fileds. for example:
class MyForm(forms.Form):
name=forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'class':'form-control'}))
In the above way, you can set it to every field.

Error 'Reverse for 'password_reset_confirm' not found.' In Django

So, I was trying to build a blog website in which the user can reset his password by sending an email to his email address, I was mostly using Django Build In functionality for that. I was trying to make the confirm URL path in which the user can reset his password but was getting an error even when I included the path for password reset confirm.
Error: Reverse for 'password_reset_confirm' not found. 'password_reset_confirm' is not a valid view function or pattern name.
My urls.py for password-reset
from django.conf.urls import url
from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_view
from django.urls import path
app_name = "blog"
urlpatterns = [
# for /blog/password-reset/
path('password-reset/', auth_view.PasswordResetView.as_view(template_name='blog/password_reset.html'), name="password_reset"),
# for /blog/password-reset/done/
path('password-reset/done/', auth_view.PasswordResetDoneView.as_view(template_name='blog/password_reset_done.html'), name="password_reset_done"),
# for /blog/password-reset/confirm/<uidb64>/token>
path('password-reset-confirm/<uidb64>/<token>', auth_view.PasswordResetConfirmView.as_view(template_name='blog/password_reset_confirm.html'), name="password_reset_confirm"),
]
Note: I'm not including all the urls cause it's kinda big
My password-reset.html
{% extends 'blog/base_for_log.html' %}
{% load crispy_forms_tags %}
{% block title %}Blog{% endblock %}
{% block body %}
<div class = "container">
<div class="content-section py-5">
<form method="POST">
{% csrf_token %}
<fieldset class="form-group">
<legend class="border-bottom mb-4">

</legend>
{{ form|crispy }}
</fieldset>
<div class="form-group">
<button class="btn btn-outline-info" type = "submit">Request Reset Password</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
{% endblock %}
My blog/password_reset_confirm.html
{% extends "blog/base.html" %}
{% load crispy_forms_tags %}
{% block body %}
<div class="content-section">

<fieldset class="form-group">

{{ form|crispy }}
</fieldset>
<div class="form-group">

</div>
</form>
</div>
{% endblock body %}
I expect the output to be a ConnectionResufedError which but I'm getting a NoReverseMatch Error.
Thanks In Advance.

The problem is that your path('password-reset-confirm/<uidb64>/<token>', ...) expects two url path parameters (uidb64 and token).
In your template you only have href="{% url 'blog:password_reset_confirm' %}" no parameters are provided, hence function can't reslove to valid url. You need to provide the values like this:
href="{% url 'blog:password_reset_confirm' uidb64='uidb64' token='token' %}"

Passing value along with form in POST data in Django

When I render the form in HTML, I use this view. the patient_id is used to denote what patient the check in is for and for name display and such.
def Checkin(request, patient_id):
patient = get_object_or_404(PatientInfo, pk=patient_id)
form = forms.PatientCheckinForm()
return render(request, 'patientRecords/checkin.html', {'patient': patient, 'form':form})
When I submit the patient form filled out as a POST method, I still need access to the patient_id. Currently this is the view that accepts the filled form:
def CheckinSubmit(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = forms.PatientCheckinForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
instance = form.save(commit=False)
instance.date_time_of_checkin = dt.now()
instance.patient = patient.patient_id
instance.save()
return redirect('patientRecords/index.html')
I want to set the instance.patient to the patient_id that was part of patient from the Checkin view. Is there a way to pass the patient data back along with the POST method or is there another way this can be done?
For reference, here is my template and I am using ModelForm not form.
{% block content %}
<div class="container">
<h1>Patient Checkin</h1>
<h2>{{patient.first_name}} {{patient.last_name}}</h2>
</div>
<div class="container">
<form action="{% url 'patientRecords:checkinsubmit' %}" method="POST" class="form">
{% csrf_token %}
{% bootstrap_form form %}
{% buttons %}
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
{% endbuttons %}
</form>
</div>
{% endblock %}
Thanks in advance!

You should be able to simply add a hidden input to your form to capture the patient ID:
{% block content %}
<div class="container">
<h1>Patient Checkin</h1>
<h2>{{patient.first_name}} {{patient.last_name}}</h2>
</div>
<div class="container">
<form action="{% url 'patientRecords:checkinsubmit' %}" method="POST" class="form">
<input type="hidden" name="patient_id" value="{{patient.patient_id}}" />
{% csrf_token %}
{% bootstrap_form form %}
{% buttons %}
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
{% endbuttons %}
</form>
</div>
{% endblock %}
(Note this assumes that the patient ID is accessible from the patient_id property of the patient object.)
Then, in your CheckinSubmit method, you can access this value via request.POST.get('patient_id')
Alternatively, it appears that your check in form loads with the patient ID in the URL. In your CheckinSubmit method, you should be able to access this URL through the request.META.HTTP_REFERER property. You could then parse the URL (e.g., using request.META.HTTP_REFERER.split('/')[len(request.META.HTTP_REFERER.split('/')) - 1] to pull out the patient ID.

Example
<form method="post" action = "{% url 'user_search_from_group' %}">
<div class="module-option clearfix">
<div class="input-append pull-left">
<input type="hidden" name="groupname" value="{{ gpname }}" />
{% csrf_token %}
<input type="text" class="span3" placeholder="Filter by name" id="username3" name="username3" required>
<button type="submit" class="btn" name="submit">
<i class="icon-search"></i>
</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
Here a hidden field is used to pass a value along form.
def user_search_from_group(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
username3 = request.POST.get('username3')
gname = request.POST.get('groupname')
Using request we are use the value inside view

Django: redirect user two pages back

I have a list of multiple objects from my database (named "plp's"), arranged in a table. Next to each "plp" element I have a button "Edit" to modify that particular entry.
Next, I redirect the user to a new url, where I pass the id of that "plp", and show the form to edit it, with a "save" button.
After pressing the "save", which is request.POST, I want to redirect the user back to the first url, with the list of all the "plp" objects in one list. That means to the site, where he first pressed "Edit".
Can I somehow save the url of where the "Edit" was clicked, and pass it to my views.py?
Thank you
listdns.html:
<td>
Uredi
</td>

Don't you only have 1 page to edit all the elements? Then you could perhaps hardcode the link e.g.
return HttpResponseRedirect(my_edit_url)
If this doesn't work and you need to go 2 pages back take a look at this post:
