Django blog app won't display edit posts page-CodePudding

Currently working through the Python Crash Course Django section I've got everything but the edit posts page working. I added the edit post link under each post but this error now displays when you try to view the homepage:

Reverse for 'edit_post' with no arguments not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['edit_post/(?P<post_id>[0-9] )/$']

Here is the code I've been using.

from django.db import models

# Create your models here.

class BlogPost(models.Model):
    """A topic the user is learning about"""
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    body = models.TextField()
    date_added = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

    def __str__(self):
        """A place for the user to create a blog post"""
        return self.title

Views

from django.shortcuts import render, redirect

from .models import BlogPost
from .forms import BlogForm

# Create your views here.

def index(request):
    """The home page for Blog"""
    return render(request, 'blogs/index.html')


def blogposts(request):
    """Show all blogposts"""
    blogposts = BlogPost.objects.order_by('date_added') 
    context = {'blogposts': blogposts}
    return render(request, 'blogs/blogposts.html', context)


def new_post(request):
    """Add a new post"""
    if request.method != 'POST':
        # No data submitted, create a blank form
        form = BlogForm()
    else:
        # POST data submitted; process data
        form = BlogForm(data=request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            return redirect('blogs:blogposts')

    # Display a blank or invalid form
    context = {'form': form}
    return render(request, 'blogs/new_post.html', context)


def edit_post(request, post_id):

    current_entry = BlogPost.objects.get(id=post_id)
    

    if request.method != 'POST':
        # Initial request; pre-fill form with current entry
        form = BlogForm(instance=current_entry)
    else:
        form = BlogForm(instance=current_entry, data=request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            return redirect('blogs:index')

    context = {'post':post, 'form':form}
    return render(request, 'blogs/edit_post.html', context)

CodePudding user response：

You need to pass the id of the blog post you want to edit.

So in your blogposts.html try:

"{% url 'blogs:edit_post' blogpost.pk %}"
