Question

I’ve been working with Django in order to make my portfolio and I’ve managed to make a simple page manager. The problem is, it does not work how I want it to work:

1. I create the page.
2. It loads the content I gave it.
3. With jQuery, I load only that content (as formatted HTML).
4. It shows itself without reloading or moving to another page.

The problem is with the last two steps, I can’t get the view and template to only load one.

Views.py:

def paginas(request, title):
    get_page = Page.objects.all() # I can't think of a way to make a proper filter
    return render_to_response('template.html', {'get_page': get_page}, context_instance=RequestContext(request), mimetype="text/html")

Template.html:

{% if get_page %}
    {% for page in get_page %}
            {{ page.content|safe }}
            <p>Full path is {{ request.get_full_path }} and page id is {{ page.id }}</p>
    {% endfor %}
{% else %}
    <p>Nothing.</p>
{% endif %}

I know I should filter it, but I don’t know how.

I appreciate your help.

tbh, the django tutorial explains urls, parameters and forms very clear, but here’s the idea:

url(r'^/someapp/(?P<page_id>\d+)/$', paginas),


def paginas(request, **kwargs):
    id = kwargs.pop('page_id')
    page = get_object_or_404(Page, id=id)
    # etcetera


class Page(models.Model):
    # regular stuff
    def get_absolute_url(self):
        return "/someapp/%d/" % self.id
