Django url rewrites and passing a parameter from Javascript
- by William T Wild
As a bit of a followup question to my previous , I need to pass a parameter to a view. This parameter is not known until the JS executes.
In my URLConf:
url(r'^person/device/program/oneday/(?P<meter_id>\d+)/(?P<day_of_the_week>\w+)/$',
therm_control.Get_One_Day_Of_Current_Thermostat_Schedule.as_view(),
name="one-day-url"),
I can pass it this URL and it works great! ( thanks to you guys).
http://127.0.0.1:8000/personview/person/device/program/oneday/149778/Monday/
In My template I have this:
var one_day_url = "{% url personview:one-day-url meter_id=meter_id day_of_the_week='Monday' %}";
In my javascript:
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: one_day_url ,
dataType: "json",
timeout: 30000,
beforeSend: beforeSendCallback,
success: successCallback,
error: errorCallback,
complete: completeCallback
});
When this triggers it works fine except I dont necessarily want Monday all the time.
If I change the javascript to this:
var one_day_url = "{% url personview:one-day-url meter_id=meter_id %}";
and then
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: one_day_url + '/Monday/',
dataType: "json",
timeout: 30000,
beforeSend: beforeSendCallback,
success: successCallback,
error: errorCallback,
complete: completeCallback
});
I get the Caught NoReverseMatch while rendering error. I assume because the URLconf still wants to rewrite to include the ?P\w+) .
I seems like if I change the URL conf that breaks the abailty to find the view , and if I do what I do above it gives me the NoREverseMatch error.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
