https://xxxx/category_check_view/?item_id=2
Above is a sample of URL pattern. How should i configured my URL in order to enable it to redirect to the right view?
I seem to get it working for a url like this https://xxxx/category_check_view/2/ only so far.
You can pass parameters to a view either in the url:
/category_check_view/2
Or via GET
params:
/category_check_view/?item_id=2
GET
params are not processed by the URL handler, but rather passed directly to the GET
param dict accessible in a view at request.GET
.
The Django (i.e. preferred) way to do handle URLs is the first one. So you would have a URL conf:
(r'^category_check_view/(\d{4})$', 'proj.app.your_view'),
And a matching view:
def your_view(request, id):
obj = Obj.objects.get(id=id)
# ...
However, if you insist on passing the param via GET
you would just do:
(r'^category_check_view$', 'proj.app.your_view'),
And:
def your_view(request):
id = request.GET.get('item_id')
obj = Obj.objects.get(id=id)
# ...
You can't use get parameters in URL pattern. Use them in your view:
item_id = request.GET.get('item_id')
