I am trying to pass my variable id to the href
{% set id = p.key().id() %}
<a href="/blog/editpost/%s" % id > Edit Post</a>
But it is showing up as /blog/editpost/%s instead of /blog/edit/93090902902 where the number is the post id.
I know how to do it using ?postId = and also
Edit Post
But with that method I have to get the last thing in the url path in my python file. I want to instead get the id request object.
What I am asking here is how can I use %s to send my variable id instead of using some other way of sending it?

I'm trying to create a list of clickable links to external URLs. My HTML file looks like this
<ul>
{% for post in posts %}
<li><a href={{url_for('go_to_reddit', url=post.url)}}>{{ post.title }}</a></li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
and the python file like this
#app.route('/redirect/"<url>"')
def go_to_reddit(url):
print("Redirecting to ", url)
return redirect(url)
I keep getting the following error whenever I press on one of the links
Not Found
The requested URL was not found on the server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.
I know it's not reaching the redirect function even though it hits the URL since my console doesn't print anything.
I don't think you can have quotes in a route parameter i.e. #app.route('/redirect/"<url>"') should be #app.route('/redirect/<url>') . Put another way, try dropping the quote around <url>
If you can't have quotes in a url parameter and you need to pass a complete url, then you should consider passing it as a query parameter e.g. /redirect/?link=post.url. Then in your handler for the route, you will do url = request.values.get('link', None)
I have a login page for a flask app with cloud database, I want to test the results after logging in, specifically, I want to test the HTML elements after logging in. I have seen people test return status code or using assertIn to check if data exist.
Is there a way for me to target a specific HTML tag, like <h1 id="userTitle"> </h1> from rendered templates after POST username, password to the route function login()
def test_users_login(self):
result = self.app.post('/login', data=dict(username='Nicole', password='abc123'), follow_redirects=True)
# I want to check the HTML tag's text value data after logging in
self.assertEqual(result.data.getTag("h1", b"Nicole") #What I imagined using <h1>
self.assertEqual(result.data.getId("user", b"Nicole") #What I imagined using id
#This returns true which is okay, because 'Nicole' exists in the whole page
self.assertIn(b'Nicole', result.data)
In my rendered jinja2 template I have this which is after logging in.
<h1 id="userTitle">{{ session['username'] }},Welcome!</h1>
I guess assertIn works well, but I just want to know how to test an HTML tag without running a browser test.
Although I didn't get a correct answer from here, but I just managed to do the unit-test with just assertIn, by checking the contents of the page.
Thanks everyone
This question already has answers here:
Sending data from HTML form to a Python script in Flask
(2 answers)
Get the data received in a Flask request
(23 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
So here's what i'm trying to do:
Static Website in HTML(just a simple table) Screenshot Here
Admin Page to update text's on that website by html for (I'm not sure if it's good idea) Another Screenshot
I was trying in Python Flask, but I have no idea how to storage data from HTML Form into Python variables. All I did is to use {{ }} in my index.html(first ss) and then I can edit content straight from Python Code, but it's not what I want.
What i want?
I want to make a form or smth like that which allows user to easy update text on index(first ss).
User has to choose which cell he wants to update and write a new content, then submit and that's all.
Is it Python Flask good idea to do it? (I'm pretty new in Python)
At the moment I'm using Wordpress+PostGrid plugin to do something like that, but editing the grid(first ss) is there so hard.
I'm stubborn that's why I want to do it on my self.
Any advises about method which I should use or language will be very helpful.
Thanks!
Since you do NOT want to render a template of your table website, but change the HTML file itself, I have the following proposition for you:
Set up a Flask application to receive your request, e.g. on an update route (/update).
Have your admin website use a form that posts to your update route. Make sure to give your select and input tags the name attribute. For example:
<form action="{{url_for('update')}}" method="post">
<select name="element">
<option value="imptitle">imptitle</option>
<option value="zaktitle">zaktitle</option>
</select>
<input type="text" name="new_value">
<input type="submit" value="Update">
</form>
In your Flask app you can extract the information from the request by using request.form, using the same names that you specified in your select and input tags, e.g.:
#app.route('/update', methods=['POST'])
def update():
element = request.form['element']
new_value = request.form['new_value']
Then replace the element's value within your table HTML: open your table HTML file, read its content, search the element and replace its value using regular expression (you can read up on how to do that here), overwrite the contents of the file with updated content. For example:
with open('index.html', 'r') as f:
content = f.read()
# new_content = ... (do your search and replace here)
with open('index.html', 'w') as f:
f.write(new_content)
I'm rendering a bunch of posts on a page where a user can browse listings and click on one of them and be sent to a 'singles page' for more information on whatever product they clicked. This method works for every link EXCEPT for the first one.
Anytime I click on the very first link of the page, I get a Not Found: The requested URL was not found on the server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again. error.
The logic I have in place for the HMTL/jinja is (everything is closed off properly, I'm cutting some unnecessary code for the sake of brevity):
{% set i = 0 %}
{% for row in data %}
{% set i = i + 1 %}
<a href="/iLike/{{ i }}">
<li>content</li>
</a>
and my python code:
#app.route('/iLike/<int:num>', methods=['GET','POST'])
def single2(num):
try:
loc = session.get('loc')
transType = session.get('transType')
data = singlesQuery()
return render_template('single.html', loc=loc,transType=transType,data=data[num-1])
except Exception as e:
return (str(e))
There is no need to build URLs manually. The best way it to use flask's built-in function url_for:
{{url_for('single2', num=i)}}
There is also no need for calculating the i manually, becaue there is built-in loop.index and loop.index0:
{% for row in data %}
<a href="{{url_for('single2', num=loop.index)}}">
I believe this should always create a valid URL.
I am working with python web.py framework,i had an anchor tag with html code as below for example
<p><a href = "/edit.py?tr=%d"%1>Edit</a></p>
So when i click this link it goes to edit.py file in my project directory, but as you observe i am passing some values after edit.py like /edit.py?tr=%d"%1. Actually i will pass these values dynamically in further process.
Here after redirecting to edit.py, how to access the values after ? from the py file?
because my intention is to edit the record after saving in to database.
You can get them using web.input, e.g.
def GET(self):
data = web.input()
tr = data.tr
