I have searched through the other questions similar to my own problem and have come to no solution so im hoping someone can help me figure out where i went wrong.
I’m trying to implement a delete post option in my blog program but it is throwing the following error once you click the ‘delete’ button:
ImproperlyConfigured at /18/delete/
Deletepost is missing a QuerySet. Define Deletepost.model, Deletepost.queryset, or override Deletepost.get_queryset().
I am nearly sure its a problem with my URLS.py though what exactly i cannot figure out.
the following is the code in question:
Views.py
# delete post
class Deletepost(LoginRequiredMixin, DeleteView):
form_class = Post
success_url = reverse_lazy('blog:home')
template_name = 'templates/post.html'
def test_func(self):
post = self.get_object()
if self.request.user == post.author:
return True
return False
urls.py
urlpatterns = [
# home
path('', views.postslist.as_view(), name='home'),
# add post
path('blog_post/', views.PostCreateView.as_view(), name='blog_post'),
# posts/comments
path('<slug:slug>/', views.postdetail.as_view(), name='post_detail'),
# edit post
path('<slug:slug>/edit/', views.Editpost.as_view(), name='edit_post'),
# delete post
path('<int:pk>/delete/', views.Deletepost.as_view(), name='delete_post'),
# likes
path('like/<slug:slug>', views.PostLike.as_view(), name='post_like'),
]
post.html
<a class="btn btn-outline-danger" href="{% url 'delete_post' post.id %}">Delete</a>
Thanks for your time and i’m sorry for the trivial question but you guys are much smarter than me!
>Solution :
I think it should be model not form_class so:
class Deletepost(LoginRequiredMixin, DeleteView):
model = Post
success_url = reverse_lazy('blog:home')
template_name = 'templates/post.html'
def test_func(self):
post = self.get_object()
if self.request.user == post.author:
return True
return False
