Solution: My mistake was that the url attribute doesn't just add the string given to 127.0.0.1 but to the current url, and so the url for the Like view was supposed to be 127.0.0.1/article/article_id/like-article-commm
I wrote a django app that has articles and im trying to add a like functionality, I added the code in the bottom and nothing happens. No error just nothing in the database or the html code changes. Any idea what is the problem?
The relevent part of the html/javascript code:
<head>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.4.1.js" integrity="sha256-WpOohJOqMqqyKL9FccASB9O0KwACQJpFTUBLTYOVvVU=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
</head>
<button id='like-button' color = 'black'> Like </button>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#like-button').click(function(){
var article_id = '{{ article.id }}';
var user_id = '{{ user.id }}';
var like_dislike = True;
$.ajax(
{
type:"GET",
url: "like-article-commm",
data:{
article_id: article_id,
user_id: user_id,
like_dislike: like_dislike
},
success: function( data )
{
$('#like-button').css('color', 'blue'); } }) });
</script>
The like-article-comm View:
def Like_Article_View(request):
if request.method == 'GET':
article_id = int(request.GET['article_id'])
likedarticle = Article.objects.get(id = article_id)
user_liked_id = int(request.GET['user_id'])
userliked = User.objects.get(id = user_liked_id)
like_dislike_0 = request.GET['like_dislike']
like_object_list = Like_Article.objects.filter(article_liked = likedarticle, user_liked = userliked)
if like_object_list.count() > 0:
existing_like = like_object_list.filter()
if existing_like.like_dislike == like_dislike_0:
return HttpResponse('success')
existing_like.like_dislike = like_dislike_0
existing_like.save()
like_new_object= Like_Article(article_liked=likedarticle, user_liked=userliked, like_dislike=like_dislike_0)
like_new_object.save()
return HttpResponse('success')
else:
return HttpResponse("unsuccesful")
urls.py file:
from django.urls import path
from . import views
from .views import ArticleListView, ArticleDetailView, ArticleCreateView, ArticleUpdateView, ArticleDeleteView
urlpatterns = [
path('', ArticleListView.as_view(), name="home-comm"),
path('article/<int:pk>/', ArticleDetailView.as_view(), name="article-comm"),
path('like_article/', views.Like_Article_View, name='like-article-commm'),
]
I can add like objects to the database manually.
