You'll need two views to do this, one of them is the form, and that you already have written. Have you read through the tutorial? It explains how to use an FBV (which seem to be your preference, which is fine) to create the other view that lists one or more objects in a table format:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/intro/tutorial03/#write-views-that-actually-do-something The first column would contain a link to /update_form/<id> where the <id> is the PK of the object you are displaying on that row (ie {{ object.id }}. You would specify the URL for the link something like this: <a href="{% url 'url_name' object.id %}">Edit</a> The template in the tutorial shows everything in an unordered list, but the template can be easily modified to match the table structure you would like. I just noticed that you haven't assigned names to your URL's in urls.py. I highly recommend you name your URL's so that you can reference them in your templates easier than using the path to the views. If you want advanced table functionality (such as sorting by column), I would look at the django-tables2 package. It does a large majority of the work for you once you specify the columns you need from your models. ( https://django-tables2.readthedocs.org/en/latest/) Is this all of the functionality that you'll need? Have you considered looking at the built-in admin, which provides this functionality with little to no coding required? -James On Sun, Jan 11, 2015 at 6:59 PM, sum abiut <[email protected]> wrote: > Basically my table structure look something of this type.
