Codemy Django Simple Blog Series 06

Youtube 37 Video Course

So my plan is to watch the video and take notes - not code but flow, bash instructions, etc. Then go back through the same video and write the code.

Create update_post.html in templates
Paste in add_post.html, change title to Edit Blog Post and h1 Update Post, change button to say update
Import UpdateView in views.py

Add new class to views.py

class UpdatePostView(UpdateView):
    model = Post
    template_name = 'update_post.html'
    fields = ['title', 'title_tag', 'body']

add to urlpatterns in urls.py:

path('article/edit/<int:pk>', UpdatePostView.as_view(), name='update_post'),

In home.html add a link to edit each entry

post.author.last_name }} - <small><a href="{% url 'update_post' post.pk %}">(Edit)</a></small><br>

In article_detail add the same edit link inside the small tags where the authors name is:
```
post.authorl.last_name }} - <a href="{% url 'update_post' post.pk %}">(Edit)</a>
```
In forms.py copy PostForm class and rename it to EditForm, remove field author from fields and comment out author in widgets.
In views.py import EditForm after PostForm, then in class UpdatePostView add form_class = EditForm, and comment out the fields line.
