Agree with Tom that ccbv is a great resource for help with CBVs. In fact,
I used it to help me with this comment.
I would probably override the delete() method in DeleteView to do what you
want to do. The original justs deletes the record and redirects to the
supplied URL:
1. def delete(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
2. """
3. Calls the delete() method on the fetched object and then
4. redirects to the success URL.
5. """
6. self.object = self.get_object()
7. self.object.delete()
8. return HttpResponseRedirect(self.get_success_url())
One could easily replace line 7 with your custom code:
now = datetime.datetime.utcnow().replace(tzinfo=utc)
self,object.date_deleted = now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
self.object.save()
Which would update the date as needed.
Also, I would include the date check in the get_object() method:
def get_object(self,queryset=None)
obj = super(MyDeleteView,self).get_object(queryset)
if obj.date_deleted is not None:
raise Http404
return obj
Not tested, but will probably work :)
