What I want, is a page where per user can be selected if they were either Present, Allowed Absent or Absent. I have managed to create a page where this is possible and can be submitted, see the image I attached. How the code works right now

My problem is, I have no idea how I can get to the data I submitted. I used name={{user.id}} for the name of the radio buttons, but how can I now access this input in my view? I want to be able to do something different if Absent is selected for example, but I don't know how to do that.

Here is my code: baksgewijs/mbaksgewijs_attendance.html

    <form action="{% url 'create_attendance' %}" method="post">
        {% csrf_token %}
        <div >
                <table id = "userTable" >
                        <tbody>
                        {% for user in users %}
                                <tr>
                                        <td> {{ user }}
                                        <td>
                                            <div >
                                                <input  type="radio" name={{user.id}} id="radio" value="Aanwezig">
                                                <label  for="flexRadioDefault1">
                                                    Aanwezig
                                                </label>
                                            </div>
                                            <div >
                                                <input  type="radio" name={{user.id}} id="radio" value="Afwezig">

I have asked a question about this before but I didn't quite figure out how to fix it so I have now tried a different approach. I have the feeling that it doesn't do much with my input now either. In advance, thanks a lot for helping. <3

CodePudding user response：

You just have to add a value to your radio buttons. Then, when retrieving the value of your radio buttons by using request.POST.get('your_input_name') you are getting the value of the radio button that was selected.

You should get something like that in your template :

<div >
    <input  type="radio" name={{user.id}} id="radio" value="Aanwezig">
    <label  for="flexRadioDefault1">
        Aanwezig
    </label>
</div>
<div >
    <input  type="radio" name={{user.id}} id="radio" value="Afwezig">
    <label  for="flexRadioDefault2">
        Afwezig
    </label>
</div>
<div >
    <input  type="radio" name={{user.id}} id="radio" value="Geoorloofd afwezig">
    <label  for="flexRadioDefault2">
       Geoorloofd afwezig
    </label>
</div>

Then, in your views.py :

if form.is_valid():
    form.save()
    for user in users:
        user_attendance = form.cleaned_data.get(user.id)
        # Do something with your user depending on the value of user_attendance
    message = messages.success(request, ("De aanwezigheid is opgeslagen"))
    return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse("baksgewijs_index"), {"message" : message})
