Django views.py: Add to favorites page

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I am trying to edit an html page so a logged in user can favorite a video.id

Here is the .html file

<td>
    <form method='POST' action="{% url 'foobar:favourite_post' video.id %}">
        {% csrf_token %}
        <input type='hidden' name='video' value={{ video.id }}>
        <button type='submit'>Bookmarkbutton>
    form>
td>

Here is the urls.py file

app_name = 'foobar'

urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.f_ListView.as_view(), name='overview'),
    path('/', views.f_DetailView.as_view(), name='detailview'),
    path('/favourite_post/', views.favourite_post, name='favourite_post'),
]

Here is the view.py file

def favourite_post(request, fav_id):
    video = get_object_or_404(Video, id=fav_id)
    if request.method == 'POST': #Then add this video to s://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/user">users' favourite
        video.

   return render(request, 'foobar/%s' % fav_id)

How to edit the views.py file so it is registered in the database that the user has favorited this video ?

Here is the models.py file

from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser

class ProjectUser(AbstractUser):

    def __str__(self):
        return self.email

class Video(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255),
    videos://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/file">file = models.FileField(upload_to="static/videos/"),
    favourite = models.ManyToManyField(ProjectUser, related_name="fav_videos", blank=True)
