Question

I have this code

book_model_delete = {
    'model' : Book, 
    'post_delete_redirect': "/boo/list/", 
    "template_name" : "books/confirm_delete.html",
   }

(r'^book/delete/(?P<object_id>\d+)/$', create_update.delete_object, book_model_delete)

The template i am using is

<form action="/book/delete/{{object_id}}/" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
    {% csrf_token %}
    Are you sure you want to delete
    <p><input type="submit" value="yes" /></p>
    </form>

Now when i click on delete then this confirmation page comes but i don’t know how to get the object_id passed in URL in this template

Answer 1

You are probably looking for {{object.id}}:

django.views.generic.create_update.delete_object

…

Optional arguments:

…

template_object_name: Designates the
name of the template variable to use
in the template context. By default,
this is ‘object‘.
