I am trying to get
X-Editable<http://vitalets.github.com/x-editable/index.html> inline
editing of a model in Django. I am simply trying to change attributes of a
model instance (in this case, the name of a Dataset object). Whenever I try
to make the inline edit, I get an error that says that there is no CSRF
protection. How can I add this this?
Also, I am not sure how to write the view so that it correctly captures the
information from the ajax request:
POST /datasets/9/update_name/{
pk: 3 //primary key (record id)
value: 'The Updated Name' //new value}
Then save the new name to the Dataset object.
urls.py
# ex: /datasets/3/update_name
url(r'^(?P<pk>\d+)/update_name/$', update_name ,
name='update_name'),
detail.html
<h1 class="page-title center">
<a href="#" id="datasetName">{{ dataset.name }}</a></h1>
<script>// using jQueryfunction getCookie(name) {
var cookieValue = null;
if (document.cookie && document.cookie != '') {
var cookies = document.cookie.split(';');
for (var i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
var cookie = jQuery.trim(cookies[i]);
// Does this cookie string begin with the name we want?
if (cookie.substring(0, name.length + 1) == (name + '=')) {
cookieValue = decodeURIComponent(cookie.substring(name.length + 1));
break;
}
}
}
return cookieValue;
}
var csrftoken = getCookie('csrftoken');
function csrfSafeMethod(method) {
// these HTTP methods do not require CSRF protection
return (/^(GET|HEAD|OPTIONS|TRACE)$/.test(method));}
$.ajaxSetup({
beforeSend: function(xhr, settings) {
function getCookie(name) {
var cookieValue = null;
if (document.cookie && document.cookie != '') {
var cookies = document.cookie.split(';');
for (var i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
var cookie = jQuery.trim(cookies[i]);
// Does this cookie string begin with the name we want?
if (cookie.substring(0, name.length + 1) == (name + '=')) {
cookieValue =
decodeURIComponent(cookie.substring(name.length + 1));
break;
}
}
}
return cookieValue;
}
if (!(/^http:.*/.test(settings.url) ||
/^https:.*/.test(settings.url))) {
// Only send the token to relative URLs i.e. locally.
xhr.setRequestHeader("X-CSRFToken", getCookie('csrftoken'));
}
}
});
$('#datasetName').editable({
type: 'text',
pk: {{ dataset.pk }},
url: '{% url 'datasets:update_name' dataset.pk %}',
title: 'Edit dataset name',});</script>
views.py
def update_name(request, dataset_id):
# ... Update Dataset object ...
json = simplejson.dumps(request.POST)
return HttpResponse(json, mimetype='application/json')
