You have two choices 1. Change the URL mapping and pass the "id" in the url
url(r'^update_form/(?P<id>\d+)/$', 'eLeave.views.update_form'), (then the url is something like /update_form/15/) 2, Change the view so that it only accepts the "request" argument def update_form(request): in that case you can pass the id in the POST body of the request On Fri, Jan 9, 2015 at 12:50 AM, sum abiut <[email protected]> wrote: > hi James, > here is the url.py > > url(r'^update_form/$', 'eLeave.views.update_form'), > > > > On Fri, Jan 9, 2015 at 2:19 PM, James Schneider <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Looks like you aren't sending enough arguments to your view from the URL >> dispatcher.
